I want to transfer list of tables from one database to another database along with data. If table exist in destination database drop it and create with source table structure and copy data from source table. Table list can be specified in .txt file.

SSIS package loop through each element in the list and drop destination table if exists only, create table with source structure and copy data from source database.

So what is your problem??,
1. you can very well loop via for-each and can trace the table names from the .txt file.
2. And run a batch file transformation drop the table in destination database( make sure that drop only if they exists, use If exists with the drop constraint)
3. pull the data to the new table as-

Select * into [port address].[DestinationDatabaseName].dbo.DestinationTableName from [port address].[DatabaseName].dbo.SourceTableName

OR
Use data flow task to do it.

Hope it helps.
