[:lower:] and [a-z] selects UPPERCASE letters!

Post by randomwanderer »

This [:lower:] and this [a-z] will select uppercase letters.
Anybody know why in the heck that is?
What workaround is there to find lowercase letters?
Thanks

Such an obvious answer but I sure missed it

It never occurred to me that match case would have to be checked when I had regular expression checked and used the proper regex for lowercase. Totally counterintuitive to me!
Thanks for the answer.
I was thinking for hours about how I was going to work around the bug!
