Bash Version: 4.4 Patch Level: 0 Release Status: release Description: It seems like bash built-in regex matches some symbols that shouldn't. The following commands shows this: [[ 'º' =~ [o-p] ]] && [[ ! 'º' =~ o ]] && [[ ! 'º' =~ p ]] && echo 'º between o and p but none of them' [[ 'ª' =~ [a-b] ]] && [[ ! 'ª' =~ a ]] && [[ ! 'ª' =~ b ]] && echo 'ª between a and b but none of them' Repeat-By: Actually found out this while developing a bigger bash script, but it can be reproduced with the previous lines. Would you reply me at amatba...@gmail.com to know if this was in fact a bug? Thanks.
