I didn't know the globasciiranges option.<br>
<br>
Another solution is the LC_COLLATE variable:<br>
<br>
splante:/tmp/x/> ls<br>
a.pdf A.pdf b.pdf B.pdf<br>
splante:/tmp/x/> ls [A-Z].pdf<br>
A.pdf b.pdf B.pdf<br>
splante:/tmp/x/> LC_COLLATE=C<br>
splante:/tmp/x/> ls [A-Z].pdf<br>
A.pdf B.pdf<br>
splante:/tmp/x/> LC_COLLATE=en_US<br>
splante:/tmp/x/> ls [A-Z].pdf<br>
A.pdf b.pdf B.pdf<br>
<br>
This is probably a better solution:<br>
<br>
splante:/tmp/x/> ls [[:upper:]].pdf<br>
A.pdf B.pdf<br>

You need to set the shopt globasciiranges otherwise it uses the values<br>
as lexical rather than pure ASCII values.<br>
