Occasionally, you may find that you have accidentally created a file
that contains a character not normally found in a filename. Examples
of this could include a space, a leading hyphen, or maybe a
quotation mark. You may find that accessing, removing, or renaming
these files can be difficult.
Here are some tips to help you:
◼ Try enclosing the filename in single quotation marks, like this:
less ’File With Spaces.txt’
◼ Insert a ./ before the filename:
less ’./-a strange file.txt’
◼ Use wildcards:
less File?With?Spaces.txt
◼ Use a backslash before each unusual character:
less File\ With\ Spaces.txt
