The file permissions certainly have nothing to do with it. It'd tell you "permission denied" if you didn't have access. The sledgehammer 777 is an extremely bad habit that creates far more problems than it ever solves.
tr -d ought to be able to do it. It may not be able to understand '[:alnum:]' though, you might have to just spell it out for it.
I have AIX 5.1
I was wondering how to remove a file name with a space in it Say {tb lsv.csv} ? When I use the {rm} command if you have a space it thinks it is a new file. So it looks for {tb} and {lsv.csv} instead of the name as a whole.
Thanks in advance

In LINUX(CentOS, RedHat) is there a way to have the banner statement appear before the logon instead of after the logon? In UNIX and Windows the banner appears before a person actually logs on, what I'm seeing in LINUX is that it appears after the login(ftp, telnet, SSH).
