[Malvern] Stoopid me.

Hi all.

I have stupidly filed an e-mail attachment in my home file as (guess what)  
"*.*"

This means of course, that if I were to delete it, I would delete the whole 
file contents !

What I want is a regular expression that will select *.*  literally, and 
delete it WITHOUT wrecking the whole file.

The only other alternative is to move everything  (except *.* ) into 
/home/temp ,  and then  delete *.*

Any bright ideas ?  I favour a R.E. if possible.

See you Wednesday,

Geoff.
