macOS Applescript: Automatically Move File Type

See this thread, which makes use of folder actions. Here's an article on it as well.

Did you get the script to work?
I'm trying to write something similar that moves the all the torrent files in the Download folder to the Trash.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello Guys,
i am not familar with scripting and i have an issue to get this AS running to the end of the script in case that only one file i am searching for is missing.
I know why, but i can´t figure it out!I tried also if i could use the nohup option but this was not the solution here too.
Please help me out ;-) Thank you


my script:
try
do shell script "mv /Users/user_xy/Downloads/*.pdf /Users/user_xy/Downloads/PDF/"
do shell script "mv /Users/user_xy/Downloads/*.dmg /Users/user_xy/Downloads/install4mac/"
do shell script "mv /Users/user_xy/Downloads/*.pkg /Users/user_xy/Downloads/install4mac/"
do shell script "mv /Users/user_xy/Downloads/*.app /Users/user_xy/Downloads/install4mac/"
do shell script "mv /Users/user_xy/Downloads/*.tbz /Users/user_xy/Downloads/Archiv/"
end try

Very new MAC user

Hi, this is my very first post. I wondered if anyone could explain me how this works? And if there is an easy way of learning how to do it.

Thanks for your patience.

Best regards

Dear angelwatt, it seems like your article link does not work anymore. Maybe due to that it was removed. Can you tell me where to find a similar article?
