Add the files which is listed in a text file.

Hi,
I want to add some files in a section.
Names of these files are specified in a text file.
How can i add these list of files to the section.
Can anyone please suggest any idea?

(i.e),
In a text file say Files.txt i will have the following list.

Files.txt
------------------
action.aspx
say.aspx
shoot.aspx
try.aspx
--------------------
I tried to read from file and assign the output variable as $2.

If i say File $2, it is taking $2 as a file and not the content of $2.
So what are the other ways available to achieve this?
Please anyone help me.

Yours,

It's because the vars are filled at run time, not at compile time...

Try to make a txtfile and rename it to *.nsh(where * should be your filename XD):
-------------------------------------------
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR"
File "C:\My Folder1\My File"
SetOutPath "$INSTDIR\Folder2"
File "C:\My Folder1\Folder2\My File2"
-------------------------------------------

and include the *.nsh where you want your files to be

no idea if this works just try it
