Re: Pattern replacement fails if string contains multibyte characters

This happens on a utf-8 based system (CRUX 2.3), LANG=de_DE.UTF-8:

Which is correct. [a-c] matches every character between a and c
(inclusive) in the collating sequence defined by the locale. For your
locale that includes characters like ä and A. You should avoid the use
of ranges when not using the C locale.

Re: Pattern replacement fails if string contains multibyte characters
I wrote: The difference is in the gnu libc implementation of strcoll(), which bash uses to compare characters for range matching. The glibc implementation ignores the locale; the other systems incorporate the current locale's collating sequence into their strcoll implementation. Sorry, that's backwards. On systems where strcoll() honors the current locale's collating sequence, you'll get the output you see on Linux. Systems that either don't have locale support or don't reflect the locale's collating sequence in strcoll() will produce the output you expect.
