Re: UNIX tr utility written in vbscript

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

You want string operations? They should
be pretty easy to write as needed, but I
don't know of anyone having written all
the common variations into a single script.


Is anyone aware of a Windows tr utility emulating the UNIX tr utility
but written in vbscript (or jscript)? I looked around but tr does not
seem the easiest thing to google on. Even something relatively
rudimentary might be ok. I did find ones for Windows written in C or
written in perl but did not locate one written in vbscript/jscript:

tr man, i.e. help, page:
http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?tr+1

A tr utility is for Windows written in C is available in this
distribution:

and in perl here:
