Hi everyone,
I would like to delete a file via AppleScript.
I’m sure the solution is trivially simple, but so far I can’t find
a way.
The easy way would be to do something like this, which sadly does
exactly what it says and it doesn’t delete the file:
set theFile to (open file "whatever")
close theFile saving no
I looked around in BBEdit’s dictionary for something naively obvious
(perhaps "close theFile deleting yes”) but no such luck.
WAYRTTD? The "Close & Delete" command on the File menu will close a text
document and move its backing file to the trash.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
