That's plain evil.
---------- <badfile.c> ------------
#include <stdio.h>
const char filename[] = {127, ' ', 'M', 'a','r','i','a',' ',
'R','i','v','i','e','r',' ','1',':',
'2','f','0','0','.','d','o','c',0};
int main (void)
{
if (remove (filename) == -1)
puts ("Success!");
else
puts ("Failure!");
return 0;
}
--------- </badfile.c> -------------
$ gcc -o badfile badfile.c
$ ./badfile
Of course, a shell script with "tr" would probably be a better more
general solution (something like translating all non printable
characters to and underscore).
