source and destination path for the copy command in single file then how to copy?
I have a single file which contains source file paths and destination file paths.
example
$ cat test.txt
/home/data/source.txt /home/code/destination.txt
/home/abc/def.txt /home/mnp/xyz.txt
Here i want to copy /home/data/source.txt to /home/code/destination.txt (cp /home/data/source.txt /home/code/destination.txt)
I have so many source path and Destination path in a single file
So I want a command by which I can copy file from source path to destination path.
Thanks.

Here's an idea:
- make a copy of your file:
cp test.txt test.sh - put
cpat the beginning of each line:sed -i 's/^/cp / test.sh
- make the file executable:
chmod +x test.sh - execute the file:
./test.sh
