That may well have deleted any other files with a name ending in f, while leaving the file -f still there! [tony at softins tmp]$ touch ./-f ae af ag be bf bg [tony at softins tmp]$ ls -f ae af ag be bf bg [tony at softins tmp]$ echo *f -f af bf [tony at softins tmp]$ rm *f [tony at softins tmp]$ ls -f ae ag be bg Easiest way to remove the file -f is: rm ./-f Cheers Tony -- Tony Mountifield Work: tony at softins.co.uk - http://www.softins.co.uk Play: tony at mountifield.org - http://tony.mountifield.org
