Copying Files with Excluding Files without an extension

I'm blanking out on this one.  

How can I copy files that only have an extension?  (Windows 2008R2/Windows7)

Is Powershell my only route?  Seems like there should be an easier way to do this.

I would write that "How do I copy all files except those that do not have an extension.

The question was asked to exclusively different ways and I posted and answer to both versions as I understood that.

dir *|?{$_.Extension}
