Weird directory (cd)

Weird directory (cd)

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

on a sdcard there is a directory which name looks like

    ##CARD#

when listed with 'ls'.

I did a 

    cd \#\#CARD\#

and got back

cd:10: bad pattern: ##CARD#
zsh: exit 1

. Am I completly blind this morning or...

What do I wrong here?

Best regards,
mcc

==================

try this:

  cd *CARD*([1])

or get more info about the dir:

  stat *CARD*

or if you really get stuck, this usually works:
  cd /path/to/files/<<TAB>>

and just keep TABbing until you see what you want.

Something has removed the backslashes.  Do you have an alias or function
for "cd", or a precmd or other hook that might reprocess the arguments?
