[CentOS] How to delete files with specical characters in the name?

Hi,

I've got an odd situation here. Somehow, I find myself with two files that start with the - character. [eric@apollo mysql]$ ls -l total 93348 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 9273344 Nov 13 19:03 -N=2007-11-08 -rw-r--r-- 1 mysql mysql 38879232 Nov 13 19:02 --newer=2007-11-08

Don't ask how they were created; something went wrong with a script at some point.

My problem is that I am trying to delete them, but can't figure out how to delete these files. Everything I try, I get the same msg: [eric@apollo mysql]$ rm '-N=2007-11-08' rm: invalid option -- N Try `rm --help' for more information.

I have tried single quotes, double quotes, escaping it with a \ and still get the same error.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thanks!

Eric
