This article provides guidance on managing tricky filenames in Linux Bash, like those with newlines, spaces, or leading dashes, which can disrupt script performance and pose security risks. It recommends quoting filenames, using `find ... -exec` for safe operations, and handling leading dashes with `--`, exemplified by safely using `xargs` for deletion and removing a file like `-myfile.txt` with `rm --`. Skills in handling these filenames increase script robustness and security.
