Here's a batch-file option, which uses the built-in findstr executable to check against the files listed in the text file:

@For /F "EOL=| Delims=" %%# In (
    'Dir /B /A:-D "C:\a\1" ^| "%__AppDir__%findStr.exe" /E /L /I /G:"C:\a\filelist.txt"'
) Do @Move /Y "C:\a\1\%%#" "C:\a\2"

Here's a shortened, single line Command Prompt, ( cmd ) , version:

For /F "EOL=|Delims=" %# In ('Dir /B/A-D "C:\a\1"^|FindStr /ELIG:"C:\a\filelist.txt"')Do @Move /Y "C:\a\1\%#" "C:\a\2"

This assumes that both your %PATH% and %PATHEXT% variables still hold their appropriate default values, or findstr.exe is located in the current directory.
