- A file has been created in my directory accidentally,
- possibly while reading disk on a SparcStation IPC. I am unable
- to remove it. The file name appears as:
-
- -rw-r--r-- 1 vidya-v 0 Aug 24 12:02 A??LN???N???-@??-
-
- How do I delet it? I tried escaping the '?' and '@' as follows:
-
- daisy [~] 43: rm A\?\?LN\?\?\?N\?\?\?-\@\?\?-
- rm: A??LN???N???-@??-: No such file or directory
- daisy [~] 44:
-
- The file name is being correctly taken by the shell, but it cannot
- find it!
- Even unlink has no effect.
-
- Any suggestions would be appreciated.
