Naming file with special characters ?
Hi all,
I have a problem with file naming in linux. I have to create a file named like 11/22.csv but shell displays error: no such file or dir. Problem is / character in the file name. I searched unix linux naming concepts and it's restricted in OS. Please tell me if there's any other chance?
OS : kali linux
Shell : bash
Thanks
