This is my first post so please be gentile...

If anyone is familiar with RamPage I have a question about deleting
"profiles", "Font Locaitons" and "Image locations. In our work flow every
job has a job number. We use the job number for our production folders on
the server.

IE: 12345-FamilyDollar

I need to
1. Make sure the 2 necessary Volumes are mounted on the Mac desktop, and if
not "mount". (Ram_Data, Ram_Master)

2. Inside Ram_Data and Ram_Master are folders that have the files/folders
that follow "about" the same naming convention however one may be called
12345 fonts, 12345 images, and 12345 profiles. I would like AS to grab the
first 5 numbers and the rest comes along for the ride to the trash. In unix
it may go something like "rm -r 12345* " I under stand that AS will have to
look in each folder individually but I have to do that now. I just need
automation.

Eventually I need AS to read a text file and grab the five number job
numbers. Right now I have to key in the job numbers in every folder and move
the files/folders to the trash.

Our server is NT 4.0 service pack 6a and all the Mac's are 9.1.
Thanks for ANY help. I am newbe to AS.
