All DOS files are also stored in 8.3 name format.  Your file is probably
stored as WCTPRO~1.ACT
To see the 8.3 name belonging to a file, do DIR /X from a DOS window.  You
can fully use this name to access the file in question.  E.g.

DEL WCTPRO~1.ACT

Subject: Can't delete file


While running wget on a site I run, I ended up downloading the following
file:

wctPropInfo DOT action AT lid=1&slid=40&product=Hotel&type=PropertyInformation&lang
=ENG&affiliateId=10006093&hotelId=10214537&include=OVERVIEW&did=14&numberAdu
lts=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\=PropertyInformat
ion\&lang\=ENG\&af
filiateId\=10006093\&hotelId\=10214537\&include\=OVERVIEW\&did\=14\&numberAd
ults\=1\&numberRooms\=1
\&dateSelected\=false\&needDates\=Y\&debugXML\=false
rm: cannot remove
`wctPropInfo DOT action AT lid=1&slid=40&product=Hotel&type=PropertyInformation&lan
g=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
