The problem might be with unicode. The regex is wrongly constructed anyway `A-z' should be `A-Za-z'. (Even though A-z works in ascii - with a few extra characters thrown in - it's not going to work in every language locale). To see if unicode is the problem you could try this: export LC_ALL=C then run your script. (Or put the line at the top of your script). -- Ian -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
