What were you trying to do?
I was trying to convert a string to all lowercase letters.
What's wrong:
It didn't work. There are two versions of tr that are in the
path:
> where tr
/usr/ucb/tr
/usr/bin/tr
> which tr
/usr/ucb/tr
> echo ASDFASDFASDF | /usr/ucb/tr A-Z a-z
asdfasdfasdf
> echo ASDFASDFASDF | /usr/bin/tr A-Z a-z
aSDFaSDFaSDF
Although the default one works, the other one doesn't. Is there a
reason for that?
What should have happened:
It should've worked.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
man tr
