Hi!
----
The following use of the ${str:start:len} with Cyrillic characters
doesn't seem to work in an Unicode locale like "en_US.UTF-8":
-- snip --
$ bash -c 'export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ; a="ифп" ; printf "%s\n"
"==${a:0:16}== OK!"'
==ифп== OK!
$ ~/bin/ksh -c 'export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ; a="ифп" ; printf "%s\n"
"==${a:0:16}== OK!"'
==иф== OK!
-- snip --
Testcase:
-- snip --
$ bash -c 'export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ; a=$(printf
"\xd0\xb8\xd1\x84\xd0\xbf\x0a") ; out=$(printf "%s\n" "==${a:0:16}==
OK!") ; [[ "$out" == "$(printf "==\xd0\xb8\xd1\x84\xd0\xbf== OK!")" ]]
|| printf "FAIL\n"'
$ ~/bin/ksh -c 'export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 ; a=$(printf
"\xd0\xb8\xd1\x84\xd0\xbf\x0a") ; out=$(printf "%s\n" "==${a:0:16}==
OK!") ; [[ "$out" == "$(printf "==\xd0\xb8\xd1\x84\xd0\xbf== OK!")" ]]
|| printf "FAIL\n"'
FAIL

Bye,
