To copy some files from one directory to another can be done kinda nicely with the find command.

1. First define the start date: touch --date "2024-01-01" /tmp/start
2. Define the end date: touch --date "2024-02-01" /tmp/end
3. Now simply craft a find command like this:

find /var/logs/some_dir -type f -newer /tmp/start -not -newer /tmp/end -exec cp "{}" /opt/another/directory \;

NOTE: In the above command, the -exec part of the find uses "{}" as where it puts each filename
