Summary: filename with special characters, how to delete

ok, rm '-11.log' is what worked, tried it first and bingo.

other options:
rm -- -11.log
and then use the i number
ls -i *.log
then
find . -inum 'num' -exec rm {} \;
however didnt get to try these

Thanks all
karl.

Hi Karl,

rm './-11.log'

should do it.
