there's couple ways. first remember that you can surround any argument with " " or ' ' to keep the shell from interpreting it as a command (or in this case a comment) so you could use "rm" to blow away a wierd file like so:
$ rm '<filename>' if you don't like the quoting thing, there's always escaping individual characters with "\" like this: $ rm your\ mother\ was\ a\ hamster.txt (i love monty python) using either of the above methods you should be able to kill any file that you can type: $ rm \#filename\# or $ rm '#filename' have fun On February 10, 2003 02:54 pm, Ted Gervais wrote: > Was wondering something here.
