[comp.unix.questions] Weird tcsh/rm problems.

jc@raven.bu.edu (James Cameron) (04/02/91)

System: SunOS 4.1.1 on a SparcStation 2

Problem:  Cannot remove a particular file created by a mis-type in 
	  FrameMaker in tcsh;  no problem in csh


-jc-  [raven: ~] % rm Lab-demo-printT
rm: Lab-demo-printT: No such file or directory
-jc-  [raven: ~] % rm Lab-demo-print*
rm: Lab-demo-printT: No such file or directory
-jc-  [raven: ~] %
-jc-  [raven: ~] % ls -al | grep lab
-rw-rw-rw-  1 jc          23586 Mar 26 20:10 Lab-demo-print?
drwxr-sr-x  2 jc            512 Mar 26 19:13 lab-demo/
-jc-  [raven: ~] % csh
-jc-  [%m: %~] % rm Lab*
-jc-  [%m: %~] % exit
-jc-  [raven: ~] % ls -al | grep lab
drwxr-sr-x  2 jc            512 Mar 26 19:13 lab-demo/


Anyone have some ideas?  When I tried to execute anything else on 
the file in tcsh, it sent the eof indicator (ie, i have 'set ignoreeof'
and commands on the file replied with 'Use "logout" to logout.')
