[ command pattern was [E-G]*.xml, output included a file starting with 'f' ] Is it possible that you have your locale (or one of the related environment variables) set to something other than C? I don't get similar behavior by default from bash on my computer, but if I set LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8 I do. What's happening there is that the sort order for [] ranges is changed so that instead of being EFG ... efg, it's eEfFgG, and f is the the range between E and G. If this is undesired behavior, you may want to set LC_COLLATE=C. Jon Leonard
