How to copy specific file types from one folder into another folder

How do you copy specific file types from one folder into another folder while retaining the folder structure?

The following batch command is capable of copying the specific file types to a folder, but lacks being able to retain the folder structure:

for /R c:\source %%f in (*.cpp,*.h) do copy %%f x:\destination\

How could I modify this to keep the folder structure from the source? Thanks!

xcopy /e c:\source\*.xml x:\destination\

should do the job.

See 

xcopy /?

from the prompt for documentation. Use /e for with-empty-directories or /s for to ignore empty directories.
