{{command}} | cut --{{characters|fields}} {{1|1,10|1-10|1-|-10}}

  • Print a field range of each line with a specific delimiter:

{{command}} | cut {{[-d|--delimiter]}} "{{delimiter}}" {{[-f|--fields]}} {{1|1,10|1-10|1-|-10}}

  • Print a character range of each line of the specific file:

cut {{[-c|--characters]}} {{1}} {{path/to/file}}
