Hi All,
I just misused tar's --exclude option and now have a tar file whose name
starts with --exclude=
How can I delete this (from the CLI)? I've tried escaping the minus
character and running rm *exclude*, but they just return an error
"unrecongised option --exclude="
I know I just read how to do this recently in linux mag, but can't find
the article...
TIA!
David
