Is there a simple script to duplicate files into a new folder based on a csv file? Our challenge is that we need to search and duplicate approx 3000 images into a new folder. 

The list of image names is a csv file. The files are all on one drive, but in many different folders.
Using Bash:

#!/bin/bash

cat /path/to/file.csv | while IFS=, read col1 col2 col3
do
    find . -path "$col1" -exec cp {} /DESIRED/DIRECTORY \;
done



IFS is the input field separator. Declare as , for .csv.
find . -path searches through your home directory recursively for names
read from col1, returning the full path.  
exec executes the cp command on {}, which represents all the results find returns
the files are copied to /DESIRED/DIRECTORY and \; is required for terminating the exec command
