Oops. I should have said: echo fdhrnzvfu bffvsentr | tr a-z n-za-m The STRINGS are already character classes so they don't need brackets. And with no brackets no need to quote. Also, for a full rot13 don't forget the capital letters! :-) echo fdhrnzvfu bffvsentr | tr A-Za-z N-ZA-Mn-za-m Bob _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
