I guess you did not use ksh - I have the same problem like you on bash. Not sure why though. When using ksh like in the shebang (#!/usr/bin/ksh) all is fine. Maybe someone else knows why, sorry.



Update:
Found a way in bash - change the line inside the case/esac to:
Code:
                [A-Z])          echo $INPUT >> $TMP
# to
                [[:upper:]])          echo $INPUT >> $TMP
