Gulp: copy file to multiple folders starting with specific string

I'm working to copy a file style.scss from specific directory to multiple folders that start with skin-.

In fact, i don't know how to tell gulp to choose folders that start with this string skin-.

Here is my gulp code:

// Copy Files
gulp.task( "copyFiles" , function() {
    return gulp.src( "app/scss/style.scss" )
        .pipe( gulp.dest( "app/scss/skins/skin-*" ) );
});

At command prompt, it says that the task is running but with no result.

I have searched a lot around for that, but i didn't find a method. I found this question here which near to my question context, but it didn't help! Gulp copy single file (src pipe dest) with wildcarded directory

Modifying only slightly @davidmdem's answer at saving to multiple destinations:

const gulp = require("gulp");
const glob = require("glob");

const destinationFolders = glob.sync("app/scss/skins/skin-*");    

gulp.task('copyFiles', function () {
  
  var stream = gulp.src("app/scss/style.scss");

  destinationFolders.forEach(function (skinFolder) {
      stream = stream.pipe(gulp.dest(skinFolder));
  });

  return stream;
});

You cannot put a glob into gulp.dest as you are trying in your question.
