and if there was nothing after the file, the filename might be hidden characters or A SPACE.. you might try : $ cd $ls -la ? like I did here. What I did was create a file called 1 . The wild card "?" would find it,and any filename that was 1 character, including a space # ls -la ? ls: cannot access ?: No such file or directory paulandcilla:/etc/udev/rules.d# >1 paulandcilla:/etc/udev/rules.d# ls -la ? -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-06-14 15:56 1 paulandcilla:/etc/udev/rules.d# -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
