Code:
# echo "investment/portfolio/run.job" | sed 's/\//\-/g'
investment-portfolio-run.job

Code:
var1="investment/portfolio/run.job"

var2=`echo $var1 | sed 's/\//\-/g'`

these two will also do Smilie
Code:
echo "investment/portfolio/run.job" |tr "/" "-"

Code:
echo "investment/portfolio/run.job" |awk '/\//{gsub("/","-")}{print}'
