Every time I do it.
When using a command like that, I usually check
it with ls first, then modify the command.
eg.
ls -l *.dbf
If that gets the expected results, I will then call up
the command line history and replace the 'ls -l'
with 'rm -f'.
This not only ensures the results are what I expect,
but avoids fat fingering that occur if the entire command
is retyped:
eg. rm -f * .dbf
Notice the space between * and .dbf.
