Finally managed to implement the setFieldsByWidth solution, and got it working once I realised that the function is an awk function, not a shell function (which would reside in my $FPATH):o. I do...

The END block is executed after all lines have been read, so $NF is not available in the END block. Try this mod:

A possible way to do this is to write your own rm command which doesn't delete the files but instead moves it into a "recycle bin" directory. You could then periodically empty that directory by...
