NO.


Please see:
	man tr




The command given above will delete any of the characters "." "C", "E", "L". For example:

-----------ORIGINAL FILE----------------------------
The following line should be changed:
	the incorrect filename is: foobar.CEL


None of these lines should be changed:
	the Audi had unintended ACCELERATION
	this is a CELL culture
	the tumor was ACELLULAR

	The letters "C", "E", and "L" should not be removed UNLESS they are
	in the filename EXTENSION ".CEL", and it occurs ONLY at the END of
	a LINE.
----------------------------------------------------


-----------OUTPUT FROM tr---------------------------
The following line should be changed:
	the incorrect filename is: foobar


None of these lines should be changed:
	the Audi had unintended ARATION
	this is a  culture
	the tumor was AUAR

	The letters "", "", and "" should not be removed UNSS they are
	in the filename XTNSION "", and it occurs ONY at the ND of
	a IN
