Filtering by author and file

Hi all,

I'm new to Applescript and I'm trying to write a script to put some
order classifying some files. I'm currently using Automator for this,
but I would rather use Applescript because Automator seems to be a bit
painful for this: many actions.

However, I cannot find any references to classify by author of a file
(rtf, doc and pdf) and type of file. All I have so far is this (no
laughs, I'm new to this):

tell application "Finder"
	move (every file of folder "HD:Users:TheToolShed:Desktop:prueba"
whose file type is (doc)) to folder "HD:Users:TheToolShed:Desktop:doc"
end tell

What I want to make is this:

move every file in public folder whose author is 1 AND whose format is
pdf- move it to pdf folder
move every file in public folder whose author is 1 AND whose format is
doc- move it to doc folder
etc

I cannot find any commands regarding to authors, and my example does
not compile. Can anyone help me?

Ignacio
