deleting a file or directory
This is not an openbsd question per se. But I am unable to delete the following directory > "Pink_Floyd-Wish_You_Were_Here_(Japan,_TOCP-65560)"
I alwas get the following error > "syntax error: `(' unexpected" I know this must be a complete newb problem but I swear I'm not a complete newb. If the answer requires further study of a man page or understanding of syntax please point me in the right direction. Thanks, divadgnol67 |

Obvoiusly quotes are not part of directory name. I am able to access files inside of directory via mp3blaster
|

If there is no other directory that starts with "Pink", just rm -rf Pink*

That worked....Thank you both very much. What documentation can I study up on to get a better understanding of special shell characters. Is there a man page for me to read. Thanks again, really.

One day I hope to able to contribute back and help someone like myself. You both have helped me several times in the past to gaining a better understanding of unix and openbsd.
