[OS X TeX] Who Wrote These, Please?

[Themis Matsoukas]

Herb,

if you are referring to the script below, I had written the initial  
code to delete files, then Jean-Claude de Soza added the recursive  
feature. Below is the version I have on my machine. It works with all  
the files in the directory, not only those associated with a root  
name, so perhaps you are referring to a different script.

(*This script cleans up tex clutter; it acts recursively on all  
folders inside the original
Original Script by Themis Matsoukas; Recursive code by Jean-Claude DE  
SOZA *)

(* the on-run handler is activated when the icon of the script is  
double-cicked *)
on run
	set my_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Please choose a  
folder") as alias
	GoCleanUp(my_folder)
end run

(* the on-open handler is activated when a folder is dropped onto the  
script icon *)
on open (drop_folder)
	set my_folder to drop_folder as alias
	GoCleanUp(my_folder)
end open

(* this handler does the actual job *)
on GoCleanUp(my_folder)
	tell application "Finder"
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".aux")
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".log")
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".toc")
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".out")
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".pdfsync")
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".tui")
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".top")
		delete (every file of my_folder whose name ends with ".tup")
		
		(* do the same with all folders inside the original folder*)
		set myFolderList to (every folder of my_folder)
		repeat with myFolder in myFolderList
			my GoCleanUp(myFolder)
		end repeat
		
	end tell
end GoCleanUp
