Copy file(s) containing string to a location oneliner - is there a better way with cmd.exe ?

Question

This

 for /f "tokens=*" %i in ('dir *sonic.exe /s /b') do copy /y "%i" D:\temp\utils\

The question is there a better or shorter way to do it ?

p.s. I know that "tokens=*" could be omitted if the file path does not have spaces ..

Update: I found a shorter ways of finding ( not copying ) from my old cheat sheets:

::START - RUN - cmd.exe
 dir d:\libs\*SubSonic*.dll /s /b>>list.txt&list.txt
:: START - RUN - CMD.EXE 
where /R D:\libs\ *SubSonic*

Answer 1

You might be able to do this with XCOPY.

This will work but will copy the directory structure too which I don't think is what you want:

XCOPY /S *sonic.exe D:\temp\utils

Answer 2

Something like

dir -r -i *sonic.exe | select-string "tokens=" | % {cp $_ d:\temp\utils}
