smart rm fn...

[tore@bibsyst.no (Tore Morkemo)]

-- 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.
