So I've seen some decent workflows for managin tags, and a couple helpful with overall tasks, such as Move to Project and Archive. There are some really nice workflows coming up around TaskPaper, and I like that. Especially if better TaskPaper implementation does find it's way into Editorial v1.1 after all.

One thing I haven't seen is an easy way to delete the Archive like you can in TaskPaper. I'm really not sure how I would go about having a workflow that could single out the files in the Archive only and delete them. I'm curious if anybody has a way or has any ideas for a way to do this via workflow, avoiding manually selecting the text. I was also thinking about the possibility of keeping an Archive document and moving the archived tasks to that instead of deleting, that way they're still available for reference if ever I need it, but not taking up space in my regular files. I know some people like to keep the archive right there in the document, but not me. In TaskPaper, I would delete it often. I'm having trouble figuring out a way to go about either of these in an efficient manner. So, any ideas are welcome as always. Thanks.

Here's a pretty simple workflow that might do what you want (see the notes in the description about how it works, depending on how you lay out your tp files, it may be too simplistic for your needs):

That works awesomely wonderful. I keep my Archive at the end as well. This is exactly what I was looking for. I need to learn Regular Expressions. I have a very vague understanding but ice been trying to find some decent sources of info for beginners. However, looking at workflows that use regex is helpful. Thanks for putting this together, I really appreciate it!
