Hello all, I recently ran the following command: tar zcvf --newer $Date $Backup.tgz folders_to_backup
but since the --newer option followed the f option, a tar file called "--newer" was created. I tried deleting it using the following methods: rm --newer rm \-\-newer rm '--newer' rm "--newer" rm `--newer` rm '\-\-newer' rm * find . -iname *newer -exec rm mv --newer /dev/null but they all gave me the same thing, invalid option --newer. In the end, i deleted it using the GUI. But how do you delete files with strange names? -- Al-Faisal El-Dajani Phone: +962-7-77 799 781 P.O Box: 140056 11814 Amman, Jordan --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jolug" group.
