Very clever. That worked too. So these both work:
rm -- '-'
rm ./-
Of course, your way is shorter.
And it works with cat as well.
Thanks. That is nice. Nothing else seemed to work with cat because it
looks for a '-' argument anywhere on the line.
I should add that it works with mv too:
mv ./- filename
That is probably what you'll want to do most often with such a file. In
my case the file contained just stdout or stderr from something like wget
or lynx, so deleting it was fine.
So the use of ./- is definitely the trick to remember here. Thanks again,
Stephen.
