Rather than making us chase a link, how about pasting the content of your question directly in your mail. At any rate, the answer to the question in your subject line is that your current locale is set up to include letters outside of the 26 ascii bytes. Run with LC_ALL=C in the environment to get the well-defined behavior you seem to want, and note that POSIX states that range expressions in regular expressions are undefined in non-C locales, precisely because some tools use all collation elements that 'sort' would place in the range, while other tools use 'rational range expression' and treat the range as if it were ASCII instead of the current locale. This is not a bug in coreutils, so I'm closing the tracker bug, but do feel free to make further comments or questions. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
