shell script to replace a char by another

I would like to obtain an script that processes an input file and replaces a determined char by another one.

Thanks in advance!

I think you need to look at sed. For example:
sed 's/foo/bar/'

sed 's/CHAR/REPLACECHAR/g'

This is too generic a question. You can come with more specific questions and some examples.

HTH,

Replace a char, difficult for me.
Not good at scripts/awk.

Check man tr
