title: Update timestamps of files in windows using a text document for reference
body: <p>I need a way to update timestamps of files to the current date using a text document as a pointer to the files.</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <p>Directory A structure:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A:\Level 1\Level 2\somefile1</li>
  <li>A:\Level 1\somefile2</li>
  <li>A:\Level 1\somefile3</li>
  <li>A:\somefile4</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Text file (FilePointer.txt) contents:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A:\Level 1\Level 2\somefile1</li>
  <li>A:\Level 1\somefile2</li>
  <li>A:\Level 1\somefile3</li>
  <li>A:\somefile4</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is there a way to parse the FilePointer.txt file to obtain file locations, and feed that to something that can update the timestamp for those files? Using powershell? Other methods?</p>
