This script trashes the Outlook Express databases which appear after the
"Compact database" operation, and have the "Old " prefix.
Except the "Old Database Cache" file, any idea why?
tell application "Finder"
set fileList to the entries in "Apple:Documents:Microsoft User
Data:Identities"; whose creators are in {"MSNM"} whose types are in {"OECI",
"OEDB"} to a depth of -1 as alias
repeat with fileAlias in fileList
set fileText to fileAlias as text
set x to the offset of ":" in (the reverse of every character of
fileText) as string
set filename to ((characters -(x - 1) thru -1 of fileText) as text)
if text 1 thru 4 of filename is "Old " then
move alias fileAlias to trash
end if
end repeat
end tell
(Uses AKUA)
