NAME
tr - translate characters SYNOPSIS
tr [ -cds ] [ string1 [ string2 ] ] DESCRIPTION
Tr copies the standard input to the standard output with substitution or deletion of selected characters (runes). Input characters found in string1 are mapped into the corresponding characters of string2. When string2 is short it is padded to the length of string1 by dupli- cating its last character. Any combination of the options -cds may be used: -c Complement string1: replace it with a lexicographically ordered list of all other characters. -d Delete from input all characters in string1. -s Squeeze repeated output characters that occur in string2 to single characters. In either string a noninitial sequence -x, where x is any character (possibly quoted), stands for a range of characters: a possibly empty sequence of codes running from the successor of the previous code up through the code for x. The character followed by 1, 2 or 3 octal digits stands for the character whose 16-bit value is given by those digits. The character sequence followed by 1, 2, 3, or 4 hexadecimal digits stands for the character whose 16-bit value is given by those digits. A followed by any other character stands for that character. EXAMPLES
Replace all upper-case ASCII letters by lower-case. tr A-Z a-z <mixed >lower Create a list of all the words in one per line in where a word is taken to be a maximal string of alphabetics. String2 is given as a quoted newline. tr -cs A-Za-z ' ' <file1 >file2 SOURCE

NAME
tr - translate characters SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/tr [-cds] [ string1 [string2]] DESCRIPTION
The tr utility copies the standard input to the standard output with substitution or deletion of selected characters. The arguments string1 and string2 are considered sets of characters. Any input character found in string1 is mapped into the character in the corresponding posi- tion within string2. When string2 is short, it is padded to the length of string1 by duplicating its last character. In either string the notation: a-b denotes a range of characters from a to b in increasing ASCII order. The character , followed by 1, 2 or 3 octal digits stands for the character whose ASCII code is given by those digits. As with the shell, the escape character , followed by any other character, escapes any special meaning for that character. OPTIONS
Any combination of the options -c, -d, or -s may be used: -c Complement the set of characters in string1 with respect to the universe of characters whose ASCII codes are 01 through 0377 octal. -d Delete all input characters in string1. -s Squeeze all strings of repeated output characters that are in string2 to single characters. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Creating a list of all the words in a filename The following example creates a list of all the words in filename1, one per line, in filename2, where a word is taken to be a maximal string of alphabetics. The second string is quoted to protect `' from the shell. 012 is the ASCII code for NEWLINE. example% tr -cs A-Za-z '12' <filename1>filename2 ATTRIBUTES
