How to delete file ??
rm '??'
rm ./??
Try these
$ touch a??b
$ rm a??b # works
$ touch a##b
$ rm a##b # works
$ touch ??
$ rm ?? # works!! ;>-
$ touch ^V^G^V^G
$ rm ?? # works! sigh!
(Suraj! note the above. I said about a file '??'. I
was unable to remove it using
$ rm ??
But now, for `touch ^V^G^V^G` it works. Bash is very
confusing!
Try this C code to delete the file ??
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
remove("??");
return 0;
}
Using this u can delete any file,u no need to use escape characters in the
remove() function
