title: Create symbolic links from list of files
body: <p>I have a folder which contains multiple files and one file (<code>file_list</code>), which lists the files of interest. I want to create symbolic links to all files that match the file names in the list. Is there an easy way to do this in bash?</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Folder contains: <code>file1</code>, <code>file2</code>, <code>file3</code>, <code>file4</code>, <code>file5</code></li>
  <li>Contents of <code>file_list</code>: <code>file1, file3, file5</code></li>
  <li>Destination folder should contain: Symbolic links for <code>file1</code>, <code>file3</code> and <code>file5</code></li>
  </ul>
