RE: grep

[Ishai Ram]

Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike)
Kernel 2.4.20-8 on an i686

the command is:
grep '^[A-Z]' filename
or
grep '^[A-Z]' #stdin

expected result:
grep only lines beggining with Uppercase.
the result I get:
grep any line that beginns with any letter (ignoring case sencetivity).

There were no aliases and -i option was not used.

excuse me, I don't understand.  Could you please be more specific?
What operating system do you use?
What commands have you typed?  What was the expected and actual output?
