Are they really spaces, or do they simply _look_ like spaces?
The character 255 can look like a space, and you can use it to name a file -
but only if you use quotes. So, for instance, in a command window, you can
do:
copy con "^^.txt"
(where, each time you see a '^', you hold down the alt key, type 255 on the
numeric keypad, then lift up the alt key)
and a directory listing will show:
12/06/2002 03:08 PM <DIR> .
12/06/2002 03:08 PM <DIR> ..
12/06/2002 03:08 PM 5 .txt
Try copy con ^^.txt, and you'll get a listing that has a file ".txt" (no
preliminary space-like characters).
Try entering rd (short for rmdir), then a space, the options /s/q , then
another space, an open quote (double quotes, not single!), and hit the TAB key
for file-name completion. It'll cycle through all the names and eventually
(or quickly) hit the one you want to remove. It'll even close the quotes for
you. That should help you remove the file.
I'm getting tempted to write a program that'll allow you to browse a directory
structure, and delete files no matter what their name, but I've got other
things to do with my time - like selling a little software to make a crust
:-).
Alun.
