Can you double-check that just LC_ALL DTRT's for you? Just LC_ALL works wonders. According to docs, that's the mother of all other locale variables, "the ring to rule them all" if you will, so it's a darn safe bet. I'd rather see that than LC_COLLATE, as I'm thinking that a future expansion of the script, if there ever is one, might need other locale properties than just collation...

I guess that the collate table that's used for Swedish on Debian needs an update, then... -- Richard Levitte [email protected] http://richard.levitte.org/ "Life is a tremendous celebration - and I'm invited!" -- from a friend's blog, translated from Swedish
