Hi, How to let command touch to work with irregular file names?
In my script I have touch -r "$file1" "$file2" the file1/2 can be anything file, ../path/file, /root/file, etc. The problem is when file1/2 are irregular file names. E.g., -test.file1/2. I.e., anyway to make the following touch command works? $ touch -r "-test.file1" "-test.file2" touch: invalid date format `est.file2' FYI, I tried this but didn't work: $ touch -r -- "-test.file1" "-test.file2" touch: invalid date format `est.file1' I think if the touch command uses the standard gnu getopt lib, then the above code should work, shouldn't it?
