问题
I am running this command to find all my files that contain (with help of regex)"someStrings" in a tree directory.
grep -lir '^beginString' ./ -exec cp -r {} /home/user/DestinationFolder \;
It found files like this:
FOLDER
a.txt
-->SUBFOLDER
a.txt
---->SUBFOLDER
a.txt
I want to copy all files and folder, with the same schema, to the destination folder, but i don't know how to do it. It's important copy files and folder, because several files found has the same name and I need to keep it.

Try this:
find . -type f -exec grep -q '^beginString' {} \; -exec cp -t /home/user/DestinationFolder {} +
or
grep -lir '^beginString' . | xargs cp -t /home/user/DestinationFolder
But if you want to keep directory structure, you could:
grep -lir '^beginString' . | tar -T - -c | tar -xpC /home/user/DestinationFolder
or if like myself, you prefer to be sure about kind of file you store (only file, no symlinks), you could:
find . -type f -exec grep -l '^beginString' {} + | tar -T - -c |
tar -xpC /home/user/DestinationFolder
