A better approach is to force the locale back to the standard with something like; LC_ALL=C svn info file | sed '/Last Changed Rev/!d;s/[^0-9]*//' If this is from a real program rather than a simple script, then it's probably better to parse svn's output in said program directly, possibly using the --xml format. -Truls
