replace character with tr
Hi,

i would like substitute the words containing the character "-" by any other.

i've already tried the tr command: tr '[a-z]\-[a-z]' '[a-z]X[a-z]', for example.

But, this command doesn't work. It gave this:

Original text:
-i abcd-fe

Result text:
Xi abcdXfe

Result desired:
-i abcdXfe

Thanks! Smilie
