SUMMARY: How to remove a file with a _very_ weird name?

Thanks to all who replied.

I've tried the following solution:

# rm -i *expor*
rm: remove 
export PS1
set -o vi
fi
if [  -eq 0 ]; then
        exit 
fi
 (yes/no)? yes

and file was removed.

I don't know how this file was created, so I am unable to recreate it and
check other solutions :-)
