#
#   This script isolates files in the current directory whose name
#	contains a specified string, and deletes any of them that has a 
#	second string in its ls -l data.
#
#	It looks like \ may be necessary before regexes.
#	Shouldn't delete from subdirectories, but I make no promises.
#
#	****************************************************************
#		  WARNING: THIS SCRIPT DELETES DATA WITHOUT PROMPTING!
#	If you pass *, all or part of the first parameter, or a standard
#	part of the ls -l return format as the second parameter, it will
#	delete ALL files that match the first parameter. If that 
#	parameter is \*, all files in the current folder will be deleted.
#		Don't be stupid. Don't use this script in stupid ways.
#						  Delete responsibly.
