strange names in Terminal plz Help!
 
Hi guys I have this problem. When I check my files in Terminal, some of them have this issue:

For example I named a file file.txt and the when I go to terminal I see it like 'file.txt' this is annoying.
This also applies to directories.

Does anyone of you have an explanation and maybe can suggest me a work around?

Thank you in advance for the attention!

Can you restate the question?

You see file.txt, AS file.txt.

What exact command are you running?

Please post the output of:
Code:
$ls-l
For the relevant directory where you see this problem.

Chance: Are you being literal, and you see single quotes around the filename?

Don't worry breda I found out the problem alone. :)

Glad you found a solution.

What might be beneficial, considering you've marked the thread as Solved, is if you can explain the solution you found.

That potentially would help someone in the future.
