1. Re: ls character range wildcard oddity? (Dennis Payne)
Interesting. I see the same behavior. Near as I can tell bash decided that the alphabet is:
aAbBcCdD...
I wouldn't expect that to be the case but when I played around with various file name that was the behavior I saw. So [a-c] includes upercase B while [a-b] does not. 'ls [A-c]*' will show Berry but not apple.

Can someone explain this to my evidently inadequately caffeinated brain? I was trying to use a lower case character range wildcard to list all files not starting with an uppercase letter and I noticed it wasn't working as I'd expect. So I created this simple example and still don't understand what's happening.
Dir with two files:
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls
apple Berry
This is what I'd expect to see:
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls [a-b]*
apple
This makes no sense. Is this a bug?:
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls [a-c]*
apple Berry
From here on are just a few extra examples confirming the oddity of the above.
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls [a]*
apple
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls [b]*
ls: cannot access [b]*: No such file or directory
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls [c]*
ls: cannot access [c]*: No such file or directory
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls a*
apple
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls b*
ls: cannot access b*: No such file or directory
brett@spider /tmp/test $ \ls c*
ls: cannot access c*: No such file or directory
brett@spider /tmp/test $ dpkg -S `which ls`
