in reply to Regex expression is matching more than once
tr replaces characters, while s/// replaces substrings.
Your code in fact removes all characters in the set lmx.()$ from the target string.
Update: Athanasius pointed out that I missed the dollar sign in what tr replaces. The expression given to tr// does not interpolate variables.
