why can I not rm the file
Sorry, I am new to UNIX. I am seeking help from gurus here. When I exported the DB at user mode, I accidently created a dmp file like this ' .dmp'. After that, I wanted to rm this .dmp file. UNIX told me that no such file and directory. Please tell me how to rm this file. Thanks in advance. Smilie

Thanks for your input. I know about UNIX command 'rm'. The question is .dmp file is there. When I used rm .dmp, UNIX told me that no such file or directory. I also tried > rm'.dmp', it got the same feedback. So who can answer my question?
