Bridge CS6 Script to Find Multiple Images in Multiple folders.

Is it possible to have a script to find multiple images within multiple folders that is on a external hard drive?

For instances I have a external hard drive assuming it's for a library of pictures.

Inside this hard drive has folders named as below

1-1000

1001-2000

2001-3000

3001-4000

If I had a perfect csv file for example that calls out for specific pictures for example 2, 10,1500 and 2000 (remember think big, it may be a larger list than this it could be hundreds or thousands of pictures); is there a script that would allow me to find these images and save a copy of them on to my desktop so that way I don't have to hunt for them in the old fashion way? I can read scripts but writing them is a different story.

For those that are stuck with me the only work around is to use a CSV file that would direct itself to the directories on the drive and then upload them to Indesign Contact sheet and then packaging the files. (Do not attempt if you're over 5,000 pictures as it will bomb out.
