Control characters in file namesControl characters in file namesPosted Nov 25, 2010 22:00 UTC (Thu) by Spudd86 (subscriber, #51683)In reply to: Control characters in file names by jengelh Parent article: Ghosts of Unix past, part 4: High-maintenance designs
if there's a file that starts with - or has any sort of control character it will break.
see here: http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/filenames-in-shell.html and here: http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/fixing-unix-linux-filename... although for some reason I remember it being much worse than that, though being correct everywhere in your script could eventually be a pain.

Are you proposing to remove hyphens from filenames too, or is this getting off-topic? :)
