try rm File\Test?.html or rm File\Test\?.html

Haven't tested, unsure of escaping question mark right off the bat.
HTH!

Hello,

I am having some trouble deleting a file with spaces, in the format
of:

File Test?.html

I have attempted rm -f File Test?.html with no success.


Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Kevin
