While running wget on a site I run, I ended up downloading the following
file:
wctPropInfo.action@lid=1&slid=40&product=Hotel&type=PropertyInformation&lang=ENG&affiliateId=10006093&hotelId=10214537&include=OVERVIEW&did=14&numberAdults=1&numberRooms=1&dateSelected=false&needDates=Y&debugXML=false
Problem is that now I can't get rid of it. I'm guessing this is due to
the M$ char limit. I've tried everything from:
ls *wctProp* | xargs rm -f
to 'rm -f *', but no luck. Every time, I get the same thing:
$ rm wctPropInfo.action\@lid\=1\&slid\=40\&product\=Hotel\&type\=PropertyInformation\&lang\=ENG\&af
filiateId\=10006093\&hotelId\=10214537\&include\=OVERVIEW\&did\=14\&numberAdults\=1\&numberRooms\=1
\&dateSelected\=false\&needDates\=Y\&debugXML\=false
rm: cannot remove
`wctPropInfo.action@lid=1&slid=40&product=Hotel&type=PropertyInformation&lang=ENG&
affiliateId=10006093&hotelId=10214537&include=OVERVIEW&did=14&numberAdults=1&numberRooms=1&dateSelec
ted=false&needDates=Y&debugXML=false': File or path name too long
Anyone have any idea what I can do? I've tried to remove from a Dos
window, Windows Explorer, but no luck.
Thanks,
Zeb
