[Wlug] deleting a file named "--exclude"

hey guys, this would seem rather basic. How to delete a file, but i have a problem. I want to delete a file called "--exclude". Any ideas? # ls -la total 1648 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 642617 Sep 27 13:54 --exclude drwxr-xr-x 15 karl users 4096 Oct 13 20:16 . drwxr-xr-x 4 karl users 4096 Oct 11 18:17 .. drwxr-xr-x 7 karl users 4096 Sep 27 13:59 .svn # rm -i * rm: unrecognized option `--exclude' Try `rm --help' for more information. # rm -f "--exclude" rm: unrecognized option `--exclude' Try `rm --help' for more information. # rm -f \-\-exclude rm: unrecognized option `--exclude' Try `rm --help' for more information. -- -- Karl Hiramoto <karl@hiramoto.org>
