Way to recursively Find pre-defined files (from list) and Copy to new Dir?

Hi - haven't had any luck finding this type of script:

1. I have a pre-defined list of filenames (stored in a plain txt document
called 'files.txt')
2. I'd like to write a script that will search the file system For each
file in the plain txt document (could be nested in sub-directories) and copy
them to a new location

I've found plenty of examples for finding types of files (i.e. .mp3's,
.zip's, etc.) but nothing that will let me pass in specific (& unique)
filenames.

Thanks for your help!

In an os of the nt line this should do:

for /f "delims=" %A in ('dir /B/S/AD^|findstr /G:files.txt') do @echo copy "%~fA" newlocation

This will only echo what it would copy without echo.
