Use text of one file to save in another

I am trying to use the text of one file as a text file name with and the text of another as the contents of that text file. Is this possible? Thank you Smilie.

Code:
 
For example, in the two files attached, target.txt has: 
1.txt 
2.txt 
and out_parse.txt has:
13	20763642	20763642	C	G
13	20763438	20763438	C	G

What I can not seem to do is use the first line of target.txt as the text file name and combine it with the first line of out_parse.txt and so on for the second.

Desired output:
1.txt
13	20763642	20763642	C	G

2.txt
13	20763438	20763438	C	G


Thank you Smilie.

NAME
x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables SYNOPSIS
x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d DESCRIPTION
x2sys_merge will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one. That is, it MUST NOT contain any new two tracks intersections (This point is NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database. -A Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base. -M Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base. OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments. EXAMPLES To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt SEE ALSO
x2sys_binlist(1), x2sys_cross(1), x2sys_datalist(1), x2sys_get(1), x2sys_init(1), x2sys_list(1), x2sys_put(1), x2sys_report(1) GMT 4.5.7 15 Jul 2011 X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)
