I had no joy with google.

But maybe you could create your folder then a new group.
Assign a name for the group and give it ownership to the folder with non writeable access for other users. I can't remember the permission numbers atm.

I would be great if this works, as I could find it handy later on.

Are you wanting to make it where say only .txt files can be created in a specific directory?

Yeah, that's the impression I got.
There must be a way to implement this.

I can see this could be handy for a few applications.

Another thought I had, maybe a cron job could be set up the run it through grep and move.

I'm just starting to get my head around running commands through pipes, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
