echo "NEE"|tr [A-Z] [a-z]
This should be a syntax error. You must have a funny O/S if it works at all.

The correct syntax is:
Code:
echo "NEE" | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'

... or to paraphrase man tr
Code:
echo "NEE" | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"

... but I prefer single quotes to make it totally obvious that the parameters are for tr not Shell.
Code:
echo "NEE" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'



Btw. I've seen some amazing anomolies if there are files with single character names in the current directory.
