bash - Replace 5 dots with a single space -

-

i have title has 5 consecutive dots i'd replaced 1 space using bash script. doing not helping:

tr '.....' ' '

obviously because it's replacing 5 dots 5 spaces.

basically, have title want changed slug. i'm using:

tr a-z a-z | tr '[:punct:] [:blank:]' '-'

to change lowercase , change punctuation mark , spaces hyphen, i'm stuck dots.

the title i'm using like: believe.....right now

so want turned believe-right-now

how change 5 dots single space?

you don't need sed or awk. original tr command should trick, need add -s flag. after tr translates desired characters hyphens, -s squeeze repeated hyphens one:

tr a-z a-z | tr -s '[:punct:] [:blank:]' '-'

i'm not sure input/output context you, tested above follows, , worked me:

tr a-z a-z <<< "believe.....right now" | tr -s '[:punct:] [:blank:]' '-'

output:

believe-right-now

see http://www.ss64.com/bash/tr.html reference.
