Re: Regexp: Only tr second occurance

Your question isn't clear at all. tr changes or deletes characters. Not character pairs, or longer sequences. \w doesn't have a special meaning in tr (unlike with regexes).

Could you describe what you want?

There are several ways of doing that. One is: `{my $i = 0; s/(\.0)/++ $i == 2 ? "" : $1/eg; }` [download] Abigail	[reply] [d/l]
