on a sdcard there is a directory which name looks like

   ##CARD#

when listed with 'ls'.

I did a

   cd \#\#CARD\#

and got back

cd:10: bad pattern: ##CARD#
zsh: exit 1

. Am I completly blind this morning or...

What do I wrong here?

==================

try this:

 cd *CARD*([1])

or get more info about the dir:

 stat *CARD*

or if you really get stuck, this usually works:
 cd /path/to/files/<<TAB>>

and just keep TABbing until you see what you want.
