Fellows

I am on a Solaris 10 box; all I am trying to do is to remove files.

When I issue the command below,
# ls -qb | grep -v 2005 | xargs -i ksh -c "echo deleting {} ; rm {}"

I get a message like:
xargs: Missing quote: Andrew_Andy_West

It looks like the name has some special characters hidden.

Any help on how to remove a file having a special character hidden in
the file name?

Cheers
