Thankyou so much. This worked well.
But it is not reading the last filename in the list. While loop ends before reading the last line.

And also if i have subfolders in the directory1 , then how to copy files from those subfolders to the directory2 subfolders.like directory1/lib/* to directory2/lib/*.

Thanks.

If you have tar that supports -T option you could:

Code:
cd directory1
sed -e 's:^.*/::' -e 's/ .*//' /path/to/readme.txt | while read file
do
    find ./ -name $file -print
done | tar -T - -cf - | (cd directory2 ; tar -xvf - )

Code:
sed -e 's:^.*/::' -e 's/ .*//' readme.txt | while read file
do
    find directory1 -name $file -exec cp {} directory2/ \;
done

hi in place of that copy command after find i want to use chmod 775. I replaced with that command ,but did not get the output.
