The problem is that Solaris sed is always broken in innovative new ways and doesn't understand character classes.
It seems that in Norwegian, "aa" is matched like a special character (one of the weird a's, I guess) and therefore is not in the [a-z] range: $ export LC_COLLATE=nn_NO.utf8 $ echo aa | sed 's/[^a-z]/*/g' * $ export LC_COLLATE=C $ echo aa | sed 's/[^a-z]/*/g' aa On Thursday, February 6, 2014 1:37:18 PM UTC, Vegard Lima wrote: > > On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 2:22 PM, Vegard Lima <vegar...@gmail.com<javascript:>> > wrote: > > On Thu, Feb 6, 2014 at 2:07 PM, Volker Braun > > <vbrau...@gmail.com<javascript:>> > wrote: > >> This works for me on Fedora 20.
