Linux Terminal Help - Off-topic

Heyyy guys i am new to ubuntu
I am completely new to the linux world and want to learn
This is what my sir in college told me to do
1. Find all files in a recursively in a directory whose name starts with the letter A or B and which were modified 3 days ago.
so in my current directory i wrote in terminal :
find . \(-name 'A*' -o -name 'B*' \) -print
So this gave me all the files starting with A or B. and the 3 days ago part i used
mtime 3
but it gives error
2. Find all directories in a file system which contain html or pdf files and create a list of such directories in a file
so same as previous :
find . \(-name '*.pdf' -o -name '*.html' \) -print
But i couldnt figure out how to save all the directories in a file
3. Find all image files in your file system with a size greater than 10kb and whose name contains any vowels
find . \-name '*.iso' -size +10k
So in this how should i go about with vowels?
4. And the directories which i find on the terminal i need to copy them in the same hierarchy to another location in the file system
How should i do that?
Please help me with these problems.
I know this is OT but all these personalized questions are difficult to figure out
dont troll lol
Thanks in advance

You've been on XDA for a while and have been an active member of the board, so you should know that bumping your own thread is against the rules of XDA. You only posted this two hours ago - we have real lives to live outside of XDA and the majority of the XDA members don't frequent Off-Topic.

You are quite right;-
16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours.

The problem for me is that the OP did so within 2 hours.

It's very hard to read the rules, isn't it? The one that tells you not to post in Off Topic before you have 10 posts.

I really don't understand why XDA allows these people to even continue. Why not just delete the accounts immediately - it's fairly obvious that they will never be useful members of the forum (or life in general).
Thread closed. Selling devices on xda is not permitted.

Google Plus XDA Chat Page

Hi all,
I am member of Google Plus and of XDA and I had a comment on my google plus page that I should post my alternate page which is the XDA chat page on google plus. I created it and there are a few people that have it in their circles. Let me know what stuff/news or goodies who all want me to post.
Here is the link.

It's easier to block crap now. I've got hundreds of people in one of my circles and have blocked most of them because of inappropriate posts.

BootTools Native Compile

I have been trying to get these BootTools from github compiled for android cross compiled for android for around 2 weeks without success, they build but when I unpack and repack my boot.img and then cat it to the block, it hangs at the boot screen and then reboots into recovery, when I repeat the same process on my desktop with the perl scripts it works perfect so I come here to ask for help on getting these tools cross compiled to run natively on android in a manner that works, thanks Mark.

Two things...
One: You posted in the wrong section, report and get it moved.
Two: Read the rules again. This time don't ignore the rules about bumping.
well this is android development which section should I be in? also I find it a little petty that people can't post to help someone but they can to tell them they are in the wrong section, childish!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974569 are you asking a question or do you have some development you want to post?
And keep your childish comments to yourself!
Point taken that I am in the wrong place fair enough. As for the other thing all I ever see on all forums is people being passive agressive with each other, this in my mind and probably in the minds of the people who are operating in this way is not how things should be within a community of people who are supposed to be helping each other, just because somebody has senior or moderator next to there credentials does not make them any less important than anybody else, or less entitled to information or help, so you keep your snotty remarks YOUR self unless you have something construvtive to say, thanks.

Congrats that you think you are above the forum rules.
In case you forgot I've request this thread moved.
I didn't think I was above the rules read my last post, I didn't know.

Welcome to the internet man. That is all we have around here is passive aggressiveness. I have Moderator next to my name and yes it doesn't allow me to be any more entitled than anyone else. Oh wait, entitlement is one of the things that are driving Devs away. It does allow me to move threads, clean them and enforce the rules when necessary.
Maybe The Rules need to be re-read about how and where to post (#15).
Thread Moved to Q&A
wow
Give the guy a break..he got it wrong..so what..and yes he is right about people and big heads how important you are..moderate don't belittle someone for getting it wrong..And yes I wait in anticipation of your reply.. Lol

New guy checking in.

Just wanted to pop in and say hey, I have been lurking around for along time and finally decided to sign up and join in.
This is my first smart phone that I have ever attempted to root/unlock (note 2) and had absolutely no idea how to go about it, so after about a week of reading I finally took the plunge, and from guidance from you guys it was all worth it. So I just want to give a big Thanks to you guys for the videos, write ups and the time you guys spend doing what you do.
And if this us posted in the wrong place sorry. Thanks again guys.

Ten post rule, and why it's needed.
Like I said above, sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I didnt see the thread to post just to say hi. I also didnt start this thread to up my post count, but to say thanks for the work that these developers put in to their work. I posted in the off topic discussion because I thought it was off topic and by all means please move it to the right thread if it offends anyone.

If you want to Thank the dev, send him a PM or press the "thanks" button . Development threads are for, well development, just saying.

Welcome to the forum mate. However, I do need to close this thread. We have about 1500 new members a day sign up so you can imagine what would happen if they all made a thread like this
