txt file aggravation
i have a file called Missing Images Report.txt--it is on my desktop on my Mac
using a terminal when i ls my desktop it shows up
when i cat Missing Images Report.txt i get error file not found. The file was created by a program on my mac.
i have ( as newbee and worse as newbee tried emacs--pico is not available) tried vi file.txt but it just recreates the file name but not contents
i am assuming although it says it is a text file unix does not recognize it--any ideas how i can say recreate this file so unix can recognize it--i need to use this list to delete files in my hme directory
