I am a fairly recent Mac convert. I often want to perform fairly simple file operations recursively through a directory tree, and would appreciate advise on the different solutions available.

Here are some examples of typical tasks:

- scan a folder tree and delete any empty folders
- scan a folder tree and move any solitary files out of the folder and delete the folder
- scan a folder tree and organize folders by parsing their filenames

I know just enough about OSX to know that there are probably many ways to do these things that I am still completely unaware of. :)
