.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Tr
|
|
performs simple character translation.
|
|
When no flag is specified, each character in
|
|
.I string1
|
|
is mapped onto the corresponding character in
|
|
.I string2 .
|
|
.PP
|
|
There are two types of
|
|
.I tr
|
|
out there, one that requires [ and ] for character classes, and one that does
|
|
not. Here is what the example above would look like for a
|
|
.I tr
|
|
that needs the brackets:
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
.B "tr \(fm[A\-Z]\(fm \(fm[a\-z]\(fm <x >y"
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
Use [ and ] if you want to be portable, because a
|
|
.I tr
|
|
that doesn't need them will still accept the syntax and mindlessly
|
|
translate [ into [ and ] into ].
