Write your own. Use 'tr' or 'sed'. Does the concept of the man page ring
a bell?

/bin/sed does this handily.

Or 'tr' for the 'sed'-impaired.

In that case, I'ld use, "s/#/\&/g".

Hope this helps,

No - # is called the pound sign. Ask any publisher.

'#' is referred to as the 'number sign' and '' is referred to as the
'pound sign' to try and avoid such confusions. These are the official
names used in the likes of Unicode 2.0 and the x/Open locales. Publishers
may well use other names of course :-)

We call it "hash" in Australia, maybe we need an our own International
OSR5 version as well? :-)
