That's too less information.
You could use wildcards like asterisks. You could use different commands with different options, such like COPY, XCOPY and ROBOCOPY. You could process the DIR command in a FOR /F loop. You could apply FIND or FINDSTR to the files or to the output of DIR. It depends on whether you want to copy all files in a directory, whether you need to search in sub folders recursively, whether you need to search for files with particular names, extensions, contents, date, etc. ...
