Copying a file to multiple other files using a text file as input
Hello,

I have a file called COMPLIST as follows that contains 4 digit numbers.
Code:
0002
0003
0010
0013
0015
0016
0022
0023
0024
0025
0027
0030
0031
0032
0033
0035
0038
0041
0044
0046
0051
0052
0053
0054
0056
0057
0058
0062
0066
0068
0076

I want to use a loop to copy a file called comp to create new files using the same 4 digit files names from the COMPLIST text file..if that makes sense..

I don't fancy doing 100's of cp commands (cp comp 0002 ;cp comp 0003) etc..

I can then manage things easier using my COMPLIST instead of doing manual copies.

Whats the best way to do it ?

NAME

       srec_spectrum - Spectrum file format

DESCRIPTION

       In this format, bytes are recorded as ASCII code with binary digits represented by 1s and 0s.  Each byte is preceded by a decimal address.

       The file ends with a Control-C character (0x03).

   Size Multiplier
       In general, binary data will expand in sized by approximately 14 times when represented with this format (or 15 times on DOS or Windows).

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example Spectrum file.  It contains the data "Hello, World[rq] to be loaded at address 0x0.
