If you're using bash you can just type "mv online_md" and hit <tab>,
which will do filename completion. It will automatically include the
special character at the end (assuming you don't have other files
starting with "online_md"). Then type the new name and hit <enter>.
Another option, I believe, would be to use:
$ mv online_md* new_filename
I think the shell will expand the asterisk to pick up the correct
filename.
HTH,
