How to create files with content, from a list - linux

Question

Trying to figure out how to create files(.strm) with specific content using a file list.
Example:
List.txt(content)
American Gangster (2007).strm,http://xx.x.xxx.xxx:8000/movie/xxxx/xxx/2017
Mi movie trailer (2019).strm,http://xx.x.xxx.xxx:8000/movie/xxxx/xxx/123
Peter again (2020).strm,http://xx.x.xxx.xxx:8000/movie/xxxx/xxx/5684
etc.
I was able to create the .strm files using the below script:
#!/bin/bash
filename="path/list.txt"
while IFS= read -r line
do
# echo "$line"
touch "$line"
done < "$filename"`
but this leaves me with empty files, how can I read and append the content?
Desire output:
Filename: AmericanGangster(2007).strm
Inside the file: http://xx.x.xxx.xxx:8000/movie/xxxx/xxx/2017
Thanks

You need to put the contents of the file to the file names that you created. Try
filename=path/list.txt
while IFS= read -r line; do
if [[ -e $line ]]; then ##: The -e tests if the file does exists.
echo "${line##*,}" > "${line%,*}"
fi
done < "$filename"
Since there can't be a filename with a '/' in it the -e is not needed.
filename=path/list.txt
while IFS= read -r line; do
echo "${line#*,}" > "${line%,*}"
done < "$filename"
It can be done by setting IFS to IFS=,
while IFS=, read -r file contents; do
echo "$contents" > "$file"
done < "$filename"
... Or awk.
awk -F, '{print $2 > $1}' "$filename"
The , must not appear anywhere except where it is now, otherwise all solution will break.
