It's never failed. I don't know if Gnome's file manager (or other file managers) will do the same, since I haven't tried.In this same vein, a tiny python scriptlet:import os os.unlink('--exclude=*.jpg')Perl certainly can do something similar.
Wow.. doesn't this seem a little excessive? rm -- '--exclude=*.jpg'works fine, always. I see no reason to use perl, python, c, assembly language, etc to delete a file.
