RE: how to delete file named "?'??"

2002-09-25 Thread Barry Byrne 

A few things you can try:

Enclosing the file name in quotes generally works.

rm "  ?'??  "

Adding -- prevents anything further on the command line being interpreted as
a switch.

rm -- "  ?'??  "

rm -i *

Should prompt you for each file in the directory to delete. Answer no to all
bar the one you want.

Cheers,

Barry
