How to copy file from one location to another location?

by

You can use this (or any variant):

Files.copy(src, dst, StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);

Also, I’d recommend using File.separator or / instead of \\ to make it compliant across multiple OS, question/answer on this available here.

Since you’re not sure how to temporarily store files, take a look at ArrayList:

List<File> files = new ArrayList();
files.add(foundFile);

To move a List of files into a single directory:

List<File> files = ...;
String path = "C:/destination/";
for(File file : files) {
    Files.copy(file.toPath(),
        (new File(path + file.getName())).toPath(),
        StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
}
