You can use sed command:

  • g: Apply the replacement to all matches to the regexp, not just the first.
  • s: stand for substitute
$ -> echo Aca | sed 's/A/Z/g; s/c/e/g'
Zea

Or just use tr command as said @James

$ -> echo Aca | tr Ac Ze
Zea

Another example:

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Insert word: " word
echo $word | tr Ac Ze

Result:

Insert word: Aca
Zea

Or:

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Insert word: " word
echo $word | sed 's/A/Z/g; s/c/e/g'

Aditional info:

  • tr
$ -> whatis tr
tr (1)               - translate or delete characters
  • sed
$ -> whatis sed
sed (1)              - stream editor for filtering and transforming text
