Hello,
today I stumbled upon this behaviour, too. I have: $ dpkg -l bash ... ii bash 3.1-1 The GNU Bourne Again SHell and $ shopt|grep case nocaseglob off nocasematch off but still get this stupid behaviour unless I set LC_COLLATE=C (as you suggest). I'd be less discontent with this LUSER feature if there'd be at least the semi-usual mixed-case matching (ie, ignore case if all pattern elements are lower case, but obey it otherwise), but setting these two options shown above should really be sufficient to prevent automatic case folding. As a side note, automatic case folding does _NOT_ improve usability because everything else in Unix and assorted flavours is case-sensitive, thus this change only blurs the distinction to Unix novices which will confuse them down the road when they end up with files like "abc.txt" and "Abc.txt" and no way to recognize the difference, much less differentiate them. Thank you! Best, --Toni++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
