Often, too, you can use the TAB key to advance over problematic characters, a "?" to represent one of them and "*" to represent any number of them. So
rm ?rtsp-stream-over-tcp
rm *over-tcp
Hmm... I don't think this works since the shell will expand to
"rm -rtsp-stream-over-tcp". rm will still see the file name as an
option.
I _am_ describing the more general case; I've already covered the hyphen, but it's not the only problematic character; sometimes you will find chars with no matching keystrokes, sometimes chars that print blank but aren't spaces.
