pattern argument for Count Files In Directory is case sensitive (incorrect documentation)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a folder (${folder}) that contains one file, with a file extension "pdf" 
(lowercase). If I run the following test case, I get the output 1, 0, 1. This 
indicates that the pattern argument is case sensitive, even though the 
documentation says that it should be case insensitive 
(http://robotframework.googlecode.com/hg/doc/libraries/OperatingSystem.html#Patt
ern matching)

| Test case sensitivity
| | ${noPattern}= | count files in directory | ${folder}
| | ${caps}= | count files in directory | ${folder} | *.PDF
| | ${noCaps}= | count files in directory | ${folder} | *.pdf
| | log | no pattern: ${noPattern} | warn
| | log | caps: ${caps} | warn
| | log | no caps: ${noCaps} | warn

[Output]
[ WARN ] no pattern: 1
[ WARN ] caps: 0
[ WARN ] no caps: 1

Environment:
Robot Framework 2.7.5 (Python 2.7.2 on win32)
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (SP1)

Pattern argument works in similar way as in List Directories and the 
documentation there says that it is case-sensitive.

Closing as Invalid.
