tr/// question

[Sunil]

All,
Is it possible to use tr to change all occurrences of ' (single
quote) into '' (two single quotes).

I need to change all occurrences of ' in a file to ''


Thanks,
Sunil.

Not really. tr/// is used to turning single characters into other single
characters. Try s/'/''/g.
