filenames beginning with "-"
Apparently about an hour ago something made a few files in my homedir
that began with "-", and now I can't read them and can't remove them:
15:30 ~ $ ls
total 80
-rw------- 1 alphengl alphengl 226 Oct 10 14:30 -011405
-rw------- 1 alphengl alphengl 226 Oct 10 14:33 -011485
-rw------- 1 alphengl alphengl 226 Oct 10 14:42 -011611
[...]
15:31 ~ $ cat \-011405
cat: invalid option -- 0
Try `cat --help' for more information.
15:31 ~ $ cat "-011405"
cat: invalid option -- 0
Try `cat --help' for more information.
15:32 ~ $ cat '-011405'
cat: invalid option -- 0
Try `cat --help' for more information.
15:32 ~ $ mv -011405 011405
mv: invalid option -- 0
Try `mv --help' for more information.
15:32 ~ $ mv '-011405' 011405
mv: invalid option -- 0
Try `mv --help' for more information.
What are they and how do I make them go away?
TIA,
Rob
