Description Marek Greško 2007-06-09 07:51:21 UTC

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

bash-3.2-9.fc7

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir test; cd test
2. touch A a M m S s Z z
3. echo [A-Z]
  
Actual results:
A a M m S s Z

Expected results:
A a M m S s Z z for national locale.
A M S Z for locale C.

Additional info:
Problem applies to any other character range and also for lowercase. But for
lowercase in oposit:
echo [a-z] results in a M m S s Z z (the first character is missing).

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2007-06-10 10:40:55 UTC

This is not a bug, if you want A-Z and a-z with a nationale local you should use
A-z. with a nationale (not C) LC_COLLATE, A-C for example correctly expands to:
AaBbC

this is to be expected, of you also want to have the lowercase of the end of the
range included, end with the lowercase: [A-c] or [A-z]

Closing as not a bug, if you disagree please explain why and reopen.

Comment 2 Marek Greško 2007-06-11 09:39:43 UTC

Aha. There is another problem. When I used to unset the LANG variable (and any
of LC_* where not set) the default locale was C. Now, the default locale is
something another. When I explicitly set LC_COLLATE (or LANG) to C. The behavior
is as expected.

Comment 3 Hans de Goede 2007-06-11 09:42:12 UTC

Are you sure you have properly unset LANG and if you define that LC_ALL,
unsetting LANG gives the C collate behaviour for me.

Comment 4 Marek Greško 2007-06-11 11:54:15 UTC

# echo $LANG
sk_SK.UTF-8
# unset LANG
# export LANG
# echo $LANG

# set | grep LC_
# echo [A-Z]
A a M m S s Z
