Need Help Removing a File
I am using a text based secure shell and when I do a ls -al, I have this odd file in my directory. It is in the format of #text.txt#. What does the # on both sides of the filename mean, and how exactly would I go about removing this file? The simple rm -f and rm -rf do not work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Code:
rm \#text.txt\# A simple rm(1) won't work because a "# " starts a comment in most of the shells. So anything after # is ignored by shell. The solution is to escape the # by using '\' or by using single quotes around the filename. |
