The Trash statement is not directly tied to audio files...it can trash any file. Further if your external drive does not support the trash, it won't work.

Regardless of your execution mode, the statement is only executed once. Essentially it processes a list of paths to items to trash.

If you are running grouped, you can send a single file to the trash by specifying its path directly by using escape sequences. (Careful with the following as the mailer strips backslash characters. Read in the forum). You can insert the escape sequence from the field's Insert Yate File Property context menu item.

Trash Items in "\!Path to File!"

If you want to trash the items while running stepwise doing more than one at a time it's is little tricker. In the following example I assume that Variable 1 is true (non zero) if I want to trash a file or false (zero) if I do not want to trash it:

Ignore files where Variable 1 is false
if true
Get Property Path to File -> Variable 2
Build List with delimiter "⏎" in named variable 'Trash These Files' from field Variable 2 (As found) string delimiter "\~"
Trash Items in "\<Trash These Files>"
Restore Initial Set of Files
endif

thank you very much. I will give it a try and will be careful at the same time
