Description:
(I'm not sure if this a bash or a coreutils issue).
ls [A-Z]*
doesn't work as expected/documented.
I'd want/expect it to list the filenames starting with an
uppercase letter.
Thank you for looking at it!
Repeat-By:
In an empty directory, create files like
touch a A b B z Z
Now,
ls [A-Z]*
outputs
A b B z Z
(why 'b' and 'z' - and/or where's 'a'...?!!)
and
ls [a-z]*
outputs
a A b B z
(why 'A' and 'B' - and/or where's 'Z'...?!!)
This is locale dependent.
In your locales lower letters are before capital letters, therefore
[a-z] does not include capital.
In C locales the sequence is capital letters and then lower letters (A B
Z a b z).
If you want all letters, lowers and capitals, you can use [a-zA-z]
