Hi,
This question/bug is regarding the 'tr' command. The documentation for
tr says:
[CHAR*] in SET2, copies of CHAR until length of SET1
[CHAR*REPEAT] REPEAT copies of CHAR, REPEAT octal if starting with 0
Accordingly I tried few things listed below. Please let me know if my
usage of the command is wrong.
>cat test
abc;;def
gehu po {} ; l
;;;;
;
>cat test|tr '[;]' '[|*]'
abc||def
gehu po {} | l
||||
|
>cat test|tr '[;]' '[|*4]'
abc||def
gehu po {} | l
||||
|
So I find no difference between [CHAR*], [CHAR*REPEAT]
Kindly advise.
Thanks,
Prateek Asthana
