I have a file which is named ^?^?^?H01.b (delete character?) and can't
find a way to delete it. An ls -s on the directory produces:
.. ... (other files)
1 ???H01.b
If I do an ls *.b, it lists the other .b files, but complains:
H01.b not found
I've tried:
rm -i * (to selectively delete everything)
rm "???H01.b"
rm "^v^?^v^?^v^?H01.b" (control-v delete ...)
and nothing seems to work.
Help me, o wizards!
