in thread Listing of files using glob

I can't speak for AG87, but on Linux it's pretty easy to create a file with a pipe symbol in it.

touch 'foo|bar' && ls -l foo* && rm -i 'foo|bar'

If I recall correctly, the only character disallowed in Linux filenames is the slash.

    You also can't create a file with \0 in its name :).

      There are many characters, though, that you can use in file names, but you never should :-)
