in reply to Translating letters

Being in mind that there are more than ten letters you can't use really tr for this idea because tr only changes a char by another

What I want to say is that you can't use tr to change i.e "f" by "23"

Although nothing is wrong with tr, if your problem is more complex that the example that you provide you probably should think in a hash for this

    mmmh... you ask about traslating numbers to letters but I realize just now that every people are doing exactly the opposite, showing how to traslate letters to numbers... XD.

    tr is the right tool for this, then
