Easiest way to do this is to let command completion figure it out for you (i.e. type mv \[press tab] (assuming you're using bash))
 Code:
$ mv \"\\n\".TXT archive/ The \n has to be escaped (\\n) so that you get a literal \ character, then your quotes have to be escaped as well, otherwise it'll just look for a file name \n.TXT Last edited by mu : June 20th, 2007 at 10:20 AM.
