String Options
possible binary values, except for those actually specified in the string1
operand) are placed in this new set in ascending order by binary value. The
new set is used in place of string1.
-C Complements the set of characters specified by string1. This means that tr
constructs a new set and the complements of the characters specified by
string1 (the set of all characters in the current character set, as defined by
the current setting of LC_CTYPE, except for those actually specified in the
string1 operand) are placed in this new set in ascending collation sequence,
as defined by the current setting of LC_COLLATE. This behaves the same
as -c when the variable _UNIX03 is unset or is not set to YES.
–d Deletes input characters found in string1 from the output.
–s tr checks for sequences of a string1 character repeated several consecutive
times. When this happens, tr replaces the sequence of repeated characters
with one occurrence of the corresponding character from string2; if string2
is not specified, the sequence is replaced with one occurrence of the
repeated character itself. For example:,
tr –s abc xyz
translates the input string aaaabccccb into the output string of xyzy.
If you specify both the –d and –s options, you must specify both string1
and string2. In this case, string1 contains the characters to be deleted,
whereas string2 contains characters that are to have multiple consecutive
appearances replaced with one appearance of the character itself. For
example:
tr –ds a b
translates the input string abbbaaacbb into the output string bcb.
The actions of the –s option take place after all other deletions and
translations.
You can use the following conventions to represent elements of string1 and string2:
character
Any character not described by the conventions that follow represents itself.
\ooo An octal representation of a character with a specific coded value. It can
consist of one, two, or three octal digits (01234567). Doublebyte characters
require multiple, concatenated escape sequences of this type, including the
leading \ for each byte.
\character
The \ (backslash) character is used as an escape to remove the special
meaning of characters. It also introduces escape sequences for nonprinting
characters, in the manner of C character constants: \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, and
\v.
c1–c2 In the POSIX locale, as long as neither endpoint is an octal sequence of
the form \ooo, this represents all characters between characters c1 and c2
(in the current locale’s collating sequence) including the end values. For
example, ’a–z’ represents all the lowercase letters in the POSIX locale,
whereas ’A–Z’ represents all that locale’s uppercase letters. One way to
convert lowercase and uppercase is with the following filter:
