Michelle,
Sorry for the delayed response but thanks for the script. It works
fine and I now need to get Carbon Copy Cloner to run a shell script
that runs this applescript (using 'osascrip't I would guess). CCC can
run a shell script before and after a backup. This whole procedure
might be done within a shell script but, alas , I am not proficient in
such matters.
Thanks again,
Tony

I hope someone on the list can make quick work of this. I would
like to write a script that would run unattended ever morning to
move all files of a specific folder, older than 30 days, to the
trash.
Here is the part of the script that will delete the files; you will
need to change the file, of course, to the one you want.
Someone else will have to write what is needed to trigger the script
at a specified time of day.
set FolderToBeProcessed to alias ((path to desktop as text) &
"untitled folder")
tell application "Finder"
delete (files of the FolderToBeProcessed whose modification date is
less than (current date) - 30 * days)
end tell
