I have multiple files in a Linux systems where I want to copy them with a single cp command into a different path and directory. Should I write a bash script to copy one by one?

Jump to PostWhat about a script that assembles all the file names and concatenates then together before executing the single cp command.
Jump to PostDo not need write script for this. Actually its a single line command e.g.
You have directorydir1
which contains multiple files anddir2
which is target to copycp dir1/* dir2/
copy all files
