Article-I.D.: wb2.128 Posted: Wed Feb 16 10:17:51 1983 Received: Sun Feb 20 08:26:46 1983 For those systems not running ucb unix - the standard od (octal dump) command with a -c option can be used to dump the directory. This will give you octal representations of any unprintable characters. Then of course you've got to figure out which control characters these are so you can type in the string to the rm command. Alternatively, why not pick any of the readable characters and use rm in the interactive mode? i.e.: rm -i *A* For files you want to keep enter 'n', and hope- fully rm will come across the offending file and you can type 'y' and then quit.
