Unix Tip #4087- April 20, 2012
ROTATE THE ALPHABET
Rot13 simply rotates any
alphabet characters but 13
places, so the letter 'a'
becomes a letter 'n', and
an 'x' becomes a 'k' etc...
To encode a file type:
% rot13
And repeat to decode.
(Note original file is
overwritten by encrypted
version.)
Simply create this small
script, and save with the
filename of 'rot13'
remembering to set
appropriate permissions.
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
tr '[a-m][n-z][A-M][N-Z]' '[n-z][a-m][N-Z][A-M]' < $1 1>temp1;
mv temp1 $1;
