If I wanted to search for lines in a file that contain a
or b
or c
or d
I would run
LC_COLLATE=C grep -E '[a-d]' file_to_search
or
LC_ALL=C grep -E '[a-d]' file_to_search
If I fail to set the locale to C
in the examples above, I risk matching characters that are not a
or b
or c
or d
.
If I am searching for a range of numbers
grep -E '[1-5]' file_to_search
is it still important for me to set the locale to C
?
