any help is appreciated :)

Answer 1

I don't think it's possible with a single xcopy, but you could use a for statement.
Something like:
for %f in (file1, file2, filen) do xcopy %f dest\

Answer 2

for %f in (file1,file2,file3) do xcopy %f destinationfolder

Answer 3

if your files starts with a specific pattern, you can use wildcards (eg text files that starts with file)

copy file*.txt e:\destination

Answer 4

I used the following for copying hundreds of files and filtering them by file extension. Below I am saying give me all files with the file extension .dll, .exe, or .pdf

for %f in (dll,exe,pdf) do xcopy /s /i C:\source\*.%f C:\destination
