Re: A funny little mistake
Most of these silly character files (and we have ALL done it) can be
dealt w/ using "./". This causes it to not be looked at. so rm ./~
says look in . and remove the file ~. No expansion performed. I used
this technique to test this e-mail. Try `touch ./~`, then `rm ./~`.
Works like a champ. We once had a user create a file called " " (the
space char). He doing some nasty things w/ it. This is how I was
taught to deal w/ things like this.
