    OSX automator question

    Hey all,

    I don't do to much with macs at work but they wanted to make a automator script that would delete a set of files out of a certian folder

    the problem is that we can not figure out how to wildcard the folderpath to account for the user name


    any ideas?

    Can you give an example of what you want to do? I can't really exactly understand what you want to do.
    My monkey wearing the fedora points and laughs at you.

    To be honest, I'd shell script it and make it a cron job...if you google for the aforementioned you should find plenty of info. If you need help with the shell scripting, please feel free to PM me
