Windows 10: How to batch copy files between several folders?

Hi, I have to do a bunch of file copy between different folders and I wanted to know if there's a way to do it in a faster way rather than the "manual way".

Basically, I have hundreds of files with certain names (37, 39, 40, 43...) to be copied to some specific dropbox shared folders that have a similar name (UVPL37, UVPL39, UVPL3740...)
Is there a way or software to copy the files based on their names?

Thanks!

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
