I am not into that Emacs thing, but since you mentioned sed - I know a
few ways that work guaranteed in sed:
1. by letter for letter translation:
echo "I've looked in both the emacs" | sed 'y/qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxc
vbnm/QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM/'
returns: I'VE LOOKED IN BOTH THE EMACS
2. using \U
echo "I've looked in both the emacs" | sed
's/\([[:alnum:]]\)/\U\1/g'
3. In awk:
echo "I've looked in both the emacs" | awk '{print toupper($0)}'
If these commands do not work for you then you should check LC_ALL in
your locale:
command: locale
Perhaps setting LC_ALL to C might help you resolve your trouble with
sed, sort and other regexp/char based commands.
See this for its effect on sort:
LC_ALL=en_US sort <<< $'a\nb\nA\nB'
LC_ALL=C sort <<< $'a\nb\nA\nB'
Perhaps that is what is stopping your Emacs from behaving.
Best luck, Tomas
