Applescript to read a text file and move files to new location

Hi,


I have around 4000 files that have been supplied in a complication folder structure - I need them in a more human readable structure. Supplied with the files is an Excel spreadsheet that among other things lists the files current location, and the desired location like this:


filepath filename newlocation

\1\00\02\0002c5d0-185e-4404-8837-eb50e89cd52c\ file1.zip Newfolder/zips/

\1\00\0f\000f17bc-3bdb-4d91-a573-3c6af92a1caa\ file32.tif Newfolder/Images/Tiffs/

...

...



Is it possible to run an applescript to pick up the file from the existing location and move it to the newlocation, assuming I saved the excel file as a csv or plain text file?


I hope someone can help! 😎
