This is a list for beginners, right? So perhaps no one will be too annoyed if I ask what is probably a really stupid question . . .
I have a text file with occasional strings enclosed in braces: kdkdkiwiwdkdkdk {iwidkwidkw} kdkdkdwiwiwkdkdk . . . I would like to use tr/// to modify the characters within the braces, while leaving the rest of the file unchanged. Whlie I'm sure this is a staight forward procedure, I've tried a number of loops and can't get it to work. If anyone could point a beginner in the right direction, he'd appreciate it.
