Solaris 10 /usr/bin/tr supports > character classes like [:cntrl:]. It doesn't for me in the instance at gcc210.fsffrance.org. But it did occur to me that the '[ *]' argument might have been the problem. Here are my experiments. bash-3.2$ type tr tr is /usr/bin/tr bash-3.2$ echo abc | tr 'ab' '[ *]' c bash-3.2$ echo abc | tr '[:cntrl:]' '[ *]' Bad string bash-3.2$ what /usr/bin/tr bash: what: command not found bash-3.2$ ident /usr/bin/tr bash: ident: command not found bash-3.2$ tr -v tr: illegal option -- v Usage: tr [ -cds ] [ String1 [ String2 ] ] I love these environments where you can't get a command to identify its own provenance. Must be "unpublished proprietary source code of AT&T". :-| Regards, Branden
