Delete/Restore Script
Hi there is anyone able to show me two scripts for a delete and a restore command.

Delete - move a file to a dustibin directory that i have created. check to see if that file exsits first in the dustbin if so delete the file before moving the new one.

Restore - return the file to its original location, if the directory that it came from is deleted it restores the directory and all of the sub-directories.

Must be able to handle wildcards, absolute and relative paths.
