Subject: Remove files/directories whose name start with a dash
Hi List,
This MUST have been posted before but I don't seem to be able to find it,
either in the list archives or with google.
I ended up with one file and one directory whose filename begins with a dash
sign. I've always been able to get rid of those with (careful!) rm -i * and
answering yes or no accordingly.
This time, no joy!
I'm on a V480 running Solaris 9 112233-11.
I tried both /bin/sh and /usr/bin/bash to no avail.
Ideas anybody?
TIA
