here's another "fun" grep locale oddity: $ echo HI | LANG=en_US.utf8 grep '^[a-z]' HI $ echo HI | LANG=C grep '^[a-z]' $ apparently en_{GB,US}.utf8 orders a-z like aAbBcC..zZ. $ echo ZI | LANG=en_US.utf8 grep '^[a-z]' $

This is what I get: $ echo HI | LANG=C grep '^[a-z]' $ echo HI | LANG=en_US.utf8 grep '^[a-z]' $ How come?

  I was able to reproduce the bug. It could be a version thing. ; grep --version GNU grep 2.6.3 ; echo A | LANG=en_US.utf8 grep '[a-z]' A

    No, I have the same version but not a similar result. I also have the en_US.utf8 locale installed.

I had the same problem with sort: $ sort <<EOF > Aa > aa > Ab > ab > EOF aa Aa ab Ab I was going crazy because I was getting different results in OSX and Ubuntu. Setting the LANG to POSIX fixed it.

  $ sort --version sort (GNU coreutils) 8.14 For what it's worth, this gets me the same results under LANG=C and LANG=en_US.utf8
