I'm just going to set LC_COLLATE to "C" and not sweat it. There seems to be something else aside from LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE and LANG that affects collating sequence. Notice the difference between "[a-d]*" and "[a-D]*". Whatever collating sequence is being used do select files puts "D" after "d", though the actual sort puts them as being equal. Whatever. I've gotten bored now. :)
I do not see that behavior here. I am using the stock bash distributed by Debian.
I get the behavior with the stock RedHat and (likely, though not certain) stock Debian BASHes. So, it seems clear: something aside from LANG, LC_ALL and LC_COLLATE affects the collating sequence. $ unset LANG LC_COLLATE LC_ALL $ echo [a-D]* bin bk-archives Bugzilla core cron Desktop docs Downloads
You might be chasing a patch bug.
Whatever it is, I have the workaround: LC_COLLATE=C. Thank you, Bob. Regards, Bruce _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
