  • @GokulNarayanan : You need to say exactly at which point you got stuck, and what you have so far. Think about how you would solve this in a programming language you are familiar to, and then translate the algotithm to bash – user1934428 Jan 08 '20 at 07:25

a simple for loop can do what you need :

for file in $(cat yourfilelist.txt); do ls -l /folder/to/check/"$file"; done

for missing files you'd get No such file or directory
