Unrar file from archive that starts with a dash

Question

How do you extract a single file from a rar archive that starts with a dash? e.g. the archive listing looks like:

-= foo =-.jpg -= bar =-.jpg

I've tried unrar e archive.rar ./-= foo =-.jpg and unrar e archive.rar "./-= foo =-.jpg" but unrar seems to read that as the literal filename. I've also tried unrar e archive.rar \-=\ foo\ =-.jpg without success.

Thanks.

To get unrar to process the file correctly, I found about a handy operator , the double dash --, that seems to work system-wide by telling the system to end all option processing.

unrar e archive.rar -- "-= foo =-.jpg" does the trick
