Doesn't that do something entirely different? The original purpose was
to convert underscores to hyphens, but it's doing something else
entirely.

$ echo test_string | tr 'a_b' 'a-b'
testbstring

On my system I need to at least escape the hyphen again:

$ echo test_string | tr 'a_b' 'a\-b'
test-string

Character classes didn't do it for me: [_] -> [-]

Have a nice day,
