How to let command touch to work with irregular file names?FYI, I tried this but didn't work: $ touch -r -- "-test.file1" "-test.file2" touch: invalid date format `est.file1'
That's nearly right; put the -- immediately following the last option, e.g.
$ touch -r '-test.file1' -- '-test.file2' Cheers, Phil _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
