Actually, I used the shells auto-complete via tab and I did not type the "'", the shell did. >Yes, it most probably was not a "normal" single quote, but e.g. an apostrophe. Try doing 'ls -b' next time. The shell DID show the "'", it was not a non-graphic character, so I don't know that the ls -b would have shown anything in my case, but I will keep it in mind for next time. Nevertheless, I know "what" to look for next time and should be able to deal with it or ignore it as time and circumstances dictate.

Perhaps I miss represented my situation when I stated "randomly chosen" files. With files coming and going on systems, I perhaps wanted to believe it was "random" but very much doubt it is. I would try the ls -b on your files to see what it might reveal.
