Doesn't that do something entirely different? The original purpose was
to convert underscores to hyphens, but it's doing something else
entirely.
$ echo test_string | tr 'a_b' 'a-b'
testbstring
On my system I need to at least escape the hyphen again:
$ echo test_string | tr 'a_b' 'a\-b'
test-string
Character classes didn't do it for me: [_] -> [-]
Have a nice day,
