I'm having trouble writing a shell script that is able to find filenames containing accented characters. For instance, the following command:
Code: 
ls | egrep tambi
finds these files in the current directory:
IMQ_también1.wav
IMQ_también2.wav
IMQ_también3.wav
IMQ_también4.wav
IMQ_también5.wav
IMQ_también6.wav
But this command:
Code: 
 ls | egrep también
finds nothing. Similar grep searches for filenames containing ñ also turn up empty. I'm sure there must be a way to make this work. Any ideas?
