概述

使用tr命令可以对输入的字符串的字符进行替换、压缩和删除(使用-d选项)，需要注意的是，每个替换行为是根据原字符串进行的,也可以理解成是同时一一替换，而不是等待第一个字符替换完了再替换下一个。下图说明

# echo "helloc,world" | tr 'lo' 'oe' //l替换o后，那候些替换过来的o不会替换为e

命令格式

tr [-cdst][--help][--version][第一字符集][第二字符集]

tr [OPTION]…SET1[SET2]

参数说明：

字符集1：指定要转换或删除的原字符集。当执行转换操作时，必须使用参数“字符集2”指定转换的目标字符集。但执行删除操作时，不需要参数“字符集2”；

字符集2：指定要转换成的目标字符集。

'A-Z' 和 'a-z'都是集合，集合是可以自己制定的，例如：'ABD-}'、'bB.,'、'a-de-h'、'a-c0-9'都属于集合，集合里可以使用'\n'、'\t'，可以可以使用其他ASCII字符。

-c, --complement：反选设定字符。也就是符合 SET1的部份不做处理，不符合的剩余部份才进行转换

-d, --delete：删除指令字符

-s, --squeeze-repeats：缩减连续重复的字符成指定的单个字符

-t, --truncate-set1：削减 SET1 指定范围，使之与 SET2 设定长度相等,然后SET1中的字符替换成SET2字符

实例

删除数字

# echo "1234abcd" | tr -d [:digit:]

abcd

删除特定字符

# echo "1234567843ab,cd" | tr -d 34

125678ab,cd

反向删除

# echo "1234567843ab,cd" | tr -Cd 34

3443

将制表符转换为空格

cat text | tr '\t' ' '

缩减连续重复的字符成指定的单个字符

# echo "123333a4444ab,cd" | tr -s 34 zs //将连续的3和4分别替换成单个z好s

12zasab,cd

小写转大写

# echo "hello,world" | tr a-z A-Z

HELLO,WORLD

# echo "hello,world" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]

HELLO,WORLD

# echo "hello,world" | tr a-z A-Z

HELLO,WORLD

# echo "hello,world" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]

HELLO,WORLD

删除Windows文件“造成”的'^M'字符

cat file | tr -s "\r" "\n" > new_file

或

cat file | tr -d "\r" > new_file

# echo "helloc,world" | tr -t 'lowc' 'oe' //将lowc截断成lo，然后将字符串中l替换成o,o替换成e，需要注意的是，每个替换行为是根据原字符进行的

tr --help

Usage: tr [OPTION]... SET1 [SET2]

Translate, squeeze, and/or delete characters from standard input,

writing to standard output.

-c, -C, --complement use the complement of SET1

-d, --delete delete characters in SET1, do not translate

-s, --squeeze-repeats replace each input sequence of a repeated character

that is listed in SET1 with a single occurrence

of that character

-t, --truncate-set1 first truncate SET1 to length of SET2

--help display this help and exit

--version output version information and exit

SETs are specified as strings of characters. Most represent themselves.

Interpreted sequences are:

\NNN character with octal value NNN (1 to 3 octal digits)

\\ backslash

\a audible BEL

\b backspace

\f form feed

\n new line

\r return

\t horizontal tab

\v vertical tab

CHAR1-CHAR2 all characters from CHAR1 to CHAR2 in ascending order

[CHAR*] in SET2, copies of CHAR until length of SET1

[CHAR*REPEAT] REPEAT copies of CHAR, REPEAT octal if starting with 0

[:alnum:] all letters and digits

[:alpha:] all letters

[:blank:] all horizontal whitespace

[:cntrl:] all control characters

[:digit:] all digits

[:graph:] all printable characters, not including space

[:lower:] all lower case letters

[:print:] all printable characters, including space

[:punct:] all punctuation characters

[:space:] all horizontal or vertical whitespace

[:upper:] all upper case letters

[:xdigit:] all hexadecimal digits

[=CHAR=] all characters which are equivalent to CHAR

Translation occurs if -d is not given and both SET1 and SET2 appear.

-t may be used only when translating. SET2 is extended to length of

SET1 by repeating its last character as necessary. Excess characters

of SET2 are ignored. Only [:lower:] and [:upper:] are guaranteed to

expand in ascending order; used in SET2 while translating, they may

only be used in pairs to specify case conversion. -s uses SET1 if not

translating nor deleting; else squeezing uses SET2 and occurs after

translation or deletion.
