<p>Divide a file into several parts (columns)<br>
Writes to standard output selected parts of each line of each input file, or
standard input if no files are given or for a file name of `-'.</p>
<pre>Syntax
cut [<i>OPTION</i>]... [<i>FILE</i>]...
</pre>
<p>In the options below, BYTE-LIST, CHARACTER-LIST, and FIELD-LIST are one or more
numbers or ranges (two numbers separated by a dash)<br>
<br>
Bytes, characters, and fields are are numbered starting at 1 and
separated by commas. <br>
Incomplete ranges may be given: <span class="code">-M </span>means <span class="code">1-M</span> ; <span class="code"> N-</span> means <span class="code">N</span> through end of line or last field.</p>
<pre>Options
-b <i>BYTE-LIST</i>
--bytes=<i>BYTE-LIST</i>
Print only the bytes in positions listed in <i>BYTE-LIST</i>. Tabs and
backspaces are treated like any other character; they take up 1
byte.
-c <i>CHARACTER-LIST</i>
--characters=<i>CHARACTER-LIST</i>
Print only characters in positions listed in <i>CHARACTER-LIST</i>. The
same as `-b' for now, but internationalization will change that.
Tabs and backspaces are treated like any other character; they
take up 1 character.
-f <i>FIELD-LIST</i>
--fields=<i>FIELD-LIST
</i> Print only the fields listed in <i>FIELD-LIST</i>. Fields are separated
by a TAB character by default.
-d <i>INPUT_DELIM_BYTE</i>
--delimiter=<i>INPUT_DELIM_BYTE</i>
For `-f', fields are separated in the input by the first character
in INPUT_DELIM_BYTE (default is TAB).
-n
Do not split multi-byte characters (no-op for now).
-s
--only-delimited
For `-f', do not print lines that do not contain the field
separator character.
--output-delimiter=<i>OUTPUT_DELIM_STRING</i>
For `-f', output fields are separated by <i>OUTPUT_DELIM_STRING</i> The
default is to use the input delimiter.</pre>
<p><b> Example</b></p>
<p>Parse out column 2 from a semicolon (;) delimited file:</p>
<p class="code">$ cat myfile.txt | cut -d \; -f 2 > output.txt </p>
