As Mr. Thompson would say, you got to take the cat to the vet. Run the
following command: ls -ld | grep ^d | cat -vet
If there are any special characters in the directory name, it will
display them. To remove or rename the directory, use the ls -li command
to get the inode number and then use the find command with the -inum
switch.
EX:
/tmp> ls -i | grep ABC
4124 ABCD
/tmp> find . -inum 4124
./ABCD
/tmp> find . -inum 4124 -exec mv {} ABC \;
/tmp> find . -inum 4124
./ABC
Thanks,

Subject: Two directories with same name in a single directory
Hi *,
This is something peculiar i have observed in one of the home
directories. I could not understand how can there be 2
directories(usf3pres3
as seen in my listing) with same name. Can someone tell me how this
would
have happened.
