[gentoo-user] Bug in bash ?
Can somebody explain why ls [A-Z]* works as ls * (or ls -R): It seems that [A-Z] is ignored by bash-3.1.17 on amd64. The expression works as expected with zsh... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is no bug. Bash globs everything that begins with A-Z (also directories) and then gives that list to ls. So ls lists all these files and the directories that begin with A-Z. Strangely though, bash seems to ignore case. (When I try your command, ls gives me all the files that begin with a letter and excludes files that begin with a number) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGKc7ZMmLQdC6jvocRAjoiAJ9guN8zoA5A2ZxQIZxEeyGxdb9TggCdFbgb c0NkXZqd15DLXNNsd1liS5Y= =m/kr -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

If LC_COLLATE is not C or POSIX then e.g. [A-D] can be equal to [AbBcCdD] or [AaBbCcD]. So set LC_COLLATE to C and you'll get a portable behaviour.

You should google that since you don't seem to know what it means.. -- Bo Andresen signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
