Check out perldoc perlop for the options to tr. As it appears our site docs are still a bit old, here is an excerpt from a Perl5.6.0 dist: c Complement the SEARCHLIST. d Delete found but unreplaced characters. s Squash duplicate replaced characters. U Translate to/from UTF-8. C Translate to/from 8-bit char (octet). jeffa	[reply]

My copy of the Camel certainly mentions all the tr///; switches. But, I'll admit when I first started Perl I would buy these books off the Street Vendors in NYC for $5. I got the Dummies book and one about Perl for Windows NT Servers. Both of them were barely worth even the little cash I shelled out, and left out major details. The O'Reilly books are popular for a reason.	[reply]
