Dear Parag,
someone or some program created a file (or a link) named '?'. Do an
'ls -l' to see if it is a file or a link if its size in bigger then 0.
You can also try to do 'file \?' to see its type or 'cat \?' to
display the content.

or else it's a non-printing character the shell converts to "?"
(Giving you a clue how to construct a shell metacharacter to match).
to get rid of it, you can try
rm -i "?"
just make sure you don't delete a wrong file.

man ls
If your ls has it, try the --show-control-chars option.

or the POSIX 'ls -b' to show nonprintable characters in octal notation.
Bye, Jojo

What does the shell have to do with the output of "ls"?

You are right. It's ls. My error.
Hello for all !
,... Well,... I guess :) just think :),...
"if" <- is a command
"[" <- is alias for "test"
"test" <- is a command
"${rtn}" = "0" and "${rtn2}" <- is parameter for command test
test or [ <- is parameter for command if,...
'if' statement is like eval,.. because run all parameter with
'execv()' an C/C++ function then check this
The default system return is '0' or not zero for executions,.. '0' for
'if' statement is like true or '1',... :)
well now if I to do : '#if [ $a = $b and $b = $c ] && [ $c = $d ]'
"$a = $b and $b = $c" <- is parameter for test command ,.. then
command test parse the 'and' statement,.... and return '0' or '!0' for
shell ,.. ( you can get it from $? ) ,.. the system later will do:
$? && [$c = $d] ,.. look this,.. "&&" will be checked from system and
not by command ,...
here is the difference ,.. [] && [] ,.. the system will run the
test,..
and [ $a and $b ] the command will run the test
