I remember asking this question before but can't remember where. Nothing
shows up in this or my other list's archives nor in a google search under
my name.
The problem is that I saved an attachment sent by someone using Windows.
The file name is of the form Axxxx Bxxxx Cxxxx.ZIP (note the spaces). when
I try to manipulate it the error messages are:
$ rm Axxxx Bxxxx Cxxxx.ZIP
rm: cannot remove `Axxxx': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `Bxxxx': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `Cxxxx': No such file or directory
Obviously Linux thinks this is 3 separate files. I remember being given
the work around for this before when I posted the question but as I said
I've lost it. Any help or pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
