Actually I stand corrected. In SOME UNIX, even the escape "\" will not
work. You can do an "ls -il" to find the inode and then delete using
find . -inum _the_inode_num -exec rm -i {} \;

Nope. That will NOT work.
Try doing:
> "-C"
ls -l *C
That will give you more files than you want. You must escape the "-"
with the "\", and you should always add the "-i" flag with the rm just
to be sure...

try: rm *C
But make sure with an ls *C first that it will be the only file
removed.

Subject: can't delete file!
Hello!
Does anyone know how to delete in Solaris a file named like "-C".
I mean rm command does not see it!
Thanks
