# tr
> Translate characters - run replacements based on single characters and character sets.
- Replace all occurrences of a character in a file, and print the result:
`tr {{find_characters}} {{replace_characters}} < {{filename}}`
- Map each character of the first set to the corresponding character of the second set:
`tr 'abcd' 'jkmn' < {{filename}}`
- Delete all occurances of the specified set of characters from the input:
`tr -d '{{input_characters}}'`
- Compress a series of identical characters to a single character:
`tr -s '\n'`
- Translate the contents of the file to upper-case and print result:
`tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]" < {{filename}}`
- Strip out non-printable characters from the file and print result:
`tr -cd "[:print:]" < {{filename}}`
