Hello,
I can't get the execute command working for the tr command in mac-os.
I tried to quote the %1 and %2 but no results.
Anybody an idea? Thanks!

Have you tried to put quotes around the variables?

You are using redirection in your command (the < and the > in the command). These are features of the bash shell in Terminal. The execute command tool doesn't use the bash shell, instead it uses direct OS commands. Therefore redirection (and piping) doesn't work.
To get them to work you will have to use a bash script to do the task and use the Execute Command tool to start the bash script.

The Execute Command Friend App might also help you out to write the bash script.
