Hi Sun Mgr -
This seems like a very simple problem but I can not find a solution for
this. After reading several man pages, trying google and different options
I finally decide to ask.
I have few files that start with - as file name. I want to rename them but I
can not find a simple solution. File are listed as follows:
-work.file01
-work.file02
-work.file03
cp or mv or even ls does not work as all commands assume that - is a flag
and not a file name. I have tried double quote "", single quote ''. or
even backslash \ before the - character but none of them work. Any
other ideas? Thanks.
:) Safdar
