rm or cp "--Aetc" how to
I have a file imported via MLDonkey with a name that is named --Abcdef.mp3 (not the true file name to protect the innocent).
I need to rename and move the file to a different directory.
When I try and move it using mv --Abcdef.mp3, or mv \-\-Abcdef.mp3, or mv "--Abcdef.mp3", or mv '--Abcdef.mp3' the mv breaks down with :
mv: unrecognized option '--Abcdef.mp3'
Try `mv --help' for more information.
Regrettably mv --help does not offer the answer. Neither does man mv.
Trying to copy the file with cp <filename> breaks down in the same way as mv <filename>.
This problem is slowly sending me crazy.
Can someone offer a solution?
Tia.
