|     But, get Perl.  Then you can say something like:
|     
|     perl -pe 's|\w*z\w*|($& =~ y/a-z/A-Z/),$&|eg;'
|     
|     and do what you want in *one* line.

| 
|     tr a-z A-Z

The original request was to uppercase only the words that contained
the letter 'z'.  Your tr command doesn't do that.
