How to use a csv list to duplicate & rename an image?

I am an AppleScript newbie. I have a csv list that contains a series of image names (1AMS2612.jpg, 1AMS2645.jpg, 1AMS7374.jpg, 1AMS7375.jpg, etc) and a single ‘placeholder’ graphic. I need to use the csv list (well contents of the file…this can be made into another format) to make a copy of the image for each entry in the list, and rename that file to the name of the entry.

Here’s what I’m thinking about:

  1. Get the first entry from the list (e.g. 1AMS2612.jpg).
  2. Make a copy of the image file
  3. Rename image file to match the entry’s name (e.g. 1AMS2612.jpg)
  4. Get second entry, and repeat the process

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
