You could also use "s around the name.

My preferred approach to this kind of problem is to type "rm women" and then hit tab to get the completion.

thanks guys,
tried rm women* and it prompted to delete. All fine now. Apparently it was women///'s.php, two more // than I thought ;)

How about a file called --exclude?

Quotes, backslashes, and wildcards aren't working for me. I think I'll have to duplicate the directory tree that it's in (excluding that file), and rm -rf the old tree.

How about a file called --exclude?

Try "rm ./--exclude"

Ah, perfect.

Thanks!
