Don’t use [A-Z], that’s a red flag. It only works for English, at most.

Don’t use [A-Z], that’s a red flag. It only works for English, at most. There is a lot of software that only works for Englsh; I'm not sure I'd call it a "red flag". Maybe more flexibility should be used in this case, and maybe it doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong... it's good advice. I just don't see a "red flag" when I see [A-Z] unless I know that the program needs to deal with character sets other than ASCII. That has been rare in my world (though decreasingly so.) -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]

Considering you don’t speak English, German and Greek, that doesn’t suprise me… `:-)` For me, it is the other way around: I use `[A-Z]` explicitly when I really mean to deal with ASCII only. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply] [d/l]
