From shell script, I would like to create the empty ‘Icon\r’ file for a Mac OS X disk image (dmg), so as the .VolumeIcon.icns icon file is taken into account by the finder; the damn ‘\r’ character is not accepted from the console:

touch Icon\r
ls Icon*

> Iconr

and other things happen when trying to type 'Icon\r', "Icon\r" etc., I can’t achieve to make it accept “\r” as the typical carriage return required at the end of the file name.

Any idea how to type it?

Thanks
