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.

i have php code pulls info database. uses prepared statement, works fine written below: <?php $n = '5'; if ($stmt = $connection->prepare("select title items id = ?")) { $stmt->bind_param("s", $n); $stmt->execute(); $stmt->bind_result($title); while ($stmt->fetch()) { echo $title; } $stmt->close(); } ?> and let's echo "batman". however, when move placeholder here: "select ? items id = 5" and change: $n = 'title'; instead of echoing "batman", echoes "title". not possible use placeholder select parameter? what have done this: select "title" items id = 5 you cant use prepared statement bindings identifiers, parameters.
