This is just off the top of my head, but the problem is exactly suited
for the ~ operator:
fn rm {
for (i) {
if (~ $i *^$move_file_extensions) {
mv $i /tmp/save_dir
} else {
builtin rm $i
}
}
}
There, how's that? (you'll want to add options etc. but I haven't got
time right now)

-- Hei !
I just got the idea of writing a smart rm function but I havent got
too much exeperience in writing rc scripts, maybe one of you rc-gurus
could take this as an exercise.
I don't like the idea of fn'ing rm to move the file to /tmp or
somewhere else ( fn rm {mv $* /tmp} ) since this tend to fill up
/tmp. But I have to admit that I just removed a file that I shouldn't
have removed....:-( So what about this idea:
Make a fn that REMOVES only the files that I never need, like .o files,
and MOVES all the files that ends with .c .h etc. to /tmp.
The file extensions that I would like to move should be put in a
list like :
move_file_extensions=(.c .h .1 .C .cpp)
PS:
Actually I just came up with a better solution to the entire problem,
but I still think it's a good rc exercise and I would like to see
a good solution.....
Tore.
