Re: deleting a file ending with a dot


Hello, All!

To summarize:

* I couldn't see the permissions of the file.

* ls |od suggests that there were no hidden chars.

* Wildcards/tab find the file, but deleting fails with ENOENT.

* The file has not been opened, and the problem persisted after reboot.

* Scandisk didn't complain about a bad file name.

* I couldn't move the upper directory (don't remember the error message
  any more).

I was able to delete the file using its 8.3 name, mentioned in another
thread.

Thanks much for your help!

With kind regards,
Baurjan.
