(given the manual's > indication that ctype_alnum() and the offending regexp are equivalent?) isalnum(3) uses isalpha(3) and isdigit(3), so yes, their results are locale-dependent (LC_CTYPE, see setlocale(3)), but don't depend on collating sequence. isdigit(3): The isdigit() function tests for a decimal digit character. Regardless of locale, this includes the following characters only: `0'' 1'' 2'' 3'' `4'' `5'' 6'' 7'' 8'' `9'' -- How many Vietnam vets does it take to screw in a light bulb? You don't know, man.
