Thank you. Now, what 'dir' are you using? I am assuming coreutils' (but it could also be an alias).
>From the coreutils info page for 'dir' we have: 10.2 `dir': Briefly list directory contents =========================================== `dir' is equivalent to `ls -C -b'; that is, by default files are listed in columns, sorted vertically, and special characters are represented by backslash escape sequences. The '-b' is the one affecting the output: it prints unprintable characters as a C octal escape sequence. So the '?' symbol after 'tytu' -- which is not actually a question mark -- gets printed as '\305'. This is a good way to find out what is this darned char that you cannot see, but the output is not compatible with the shell -- in the shell, the backslah escapes the *single* next char. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727937 Title: mv command not renaming file with invalid encoding -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
