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!
