load specific files if they are in a list

Hi There,

If I have a text file with file names in it, how can I use this in my load script so that I only load the files listed in that text file, from a folder with hundreds of files?

Example:

I have a text file located on my C Drive called 'FileList.txt', and it has the following records in it.

File1.txt

File2.txt

File3.txt

Then I have a folder with hundreds of files, including the above 3 files.

I want to load FROM this folder, but only looking at these 3 files.
