title: Create symlink from the contents of a file
body: <p>Due to an inefficient workflow where I have to copy directories between a Linux machine and a windows machine. The directories contain symlinks which (after copying Linux>Windows>Linux) contain the link in plaintext (eg <code>foobar.C</code> contains the text <code>../../../Foo/Bar/foobar.C</code>)</p>
  
  <p>Is there an efficient way to recreate the symlinks from the contents of the file recursively for a complete directory?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>find . | xargs ln -s ??A?? ??B?? &amp;&amp; mv ??B?? ??A??
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>where I really have no idea how to populate the variables, but <code>??A??</code> should be the symlink's destination from the file and <code>??B??</code> should be the name of the file with the suffix <code>_temp</code> appended.</p>
