How to copy a lot of files?

Another way:
You can also use XCOPY in a CMD window.
Enter XCOPY /? in a CMD window and read the results.
It's harder than using win search but you can make
an automated *.bat file to run it. You will figure it out.
This way only *.doc files are copied but with full path.
It is better than above but still it is not what I need.
You can use CMD (DOS) utilities in a two stage process:
1. Write to file all the target filenames (with full filepaths)
using FIND [parameters] OUTPUT.TXT
2. Copy as required using XCOPY, after first editing
OUTPUT.TXT to generate a BATch file with the
instructions you want.
As noted elsewhere, XXCOPY offers more opportunities
e.g. to make necessary subdirectories during the
copy process.
