Not a bug. That is the documented behavior of -s, per 'tr --help': | -s, --squeeze-repeats replace each input sequence of a repeated character | that is listed in SET1 with a single occurrence | of that character ... | -s uses SET1 if not | translating nor deleting; else squeezing uses SET2 and occurs after | translation or deletion. Since n is a member of SET2, it is squeezed after the translation phase, regardless of whether translation was what caused the creation of a consecutive nn. > I don't know if that is intended but it looks like a bug. I'm currently > using coreutils 6.10-6ubuntu1 on ubuntu. Consider upgrading. The latest stable version is 7.2. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
