Ok, maybe I missed a memo 5-10 years ago, but why does # ls [A-Z]* And # ls | grep [A-Z] give different results (the filenames are either upper or lower case - not mixed in the example).
Why does [A-Z] mean AbBcCdD in ls while it means ABCD in grep? Is there any ls command switch that sorts in 01..89AB..YZab..yz order instead of aAbBcC order? Would this cause the first ls command to work if there was? (work defined as give me the uppercase filenames) I grew up on Motorola unix and SCO and they sorted listings in ascii value order. Migrating that to linux caught this unanticipated feature.
