Find, copy and move into directory

Comment:

How do you find files, then copy the files into an existing directory. I am to find files starting with N which is not more than 10 days old, then copy the N files into an existing N directory. All in single command. The problem now is I don't know how to move the files into an existing directory. find t* -mtime -10 Directory is users/students/280501/kl004358/cprogram/N
