after saving you can do something like this:
$Path = path to location where you are creating the file you want to
keep
Document list($Path;$Document_names_array)
for ($i;1;size of array(Document_names_array))
if(position(".temp";Document_names_array{$i}) > 0)
delete document(Document_names_array{$i})
end if
end for
(code able written in email - take it for what it is.... :)
