Command Prompt and batch files

Question

I'm trying to copy a number of files from a directory. I want to include the file path from the base of this particular directory tree, however, I only have a list of the file names to go by. Is there a way to copy either:

a list of files with their directories appended to the beginning in a .txt file
a copy of the folders in the directory with copies of the files placed in their original places in the original directory.

Each file in the directory has a unique name.

I've looked all over google, but the closest I've found is xcopy, which I don't believe is capable of this.

Thanks!

For the second option you can use xcopy /s or robocopy /s. Both are great tools for this kind of job.
