What is the Windows equivalent of the tr command in Linux?
For example, tr can replace all colons with a newline character. Can this be done in Windows?
$ echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'

The tr command is a Linux command-line utility that translates or deletes characters from standard input ( stdin ) and writes the result to standard output ( stdout ). Use tr to perform different text transformations, including case conversion, squeezing or deleting characters, and basic text replacement.
tr is short for “translate”. It is a member of the GNU coreutils package. Therefore, it's available in all Linux distros. The tr command reads a byte stream from standard input (stdin), translates or deletes characters, then writes the result to the standard output (stdout).
Using tr Command to Delete Characters You can use the -d (--delete) option followed by the character, set of characters or an interpreted sequence.
As far as I've learned, there isn't a drop in replacement for tr, but this works simply and memorably for your use case:
echo $env:PATH.Replace(';',"`r`n")
