cut — remove sections from each line of files
cut OPTION... [FILE...]
Print selected parts of lines from each FILE to standard output.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
−b, −−bytes=LISTselect only these bytes
−c, −−characters=LISTselect only these characters
−d, −−delimiter=DELIMuse DELIM instead of TAB for field delimiter
−f, −−fields=LISTselect only these fields; also print any line that
contains no delimiter character, unless the
−s option is
specified
−n(ignored)
−−complementcomplement the set of selected bytes, characters or fields.
−s, −−only−delimiteddo not print lines not containing delimiters
−−output−delimiter=STRINGuse STRING as the output delimiter the default is to use the input delimiter
−−helpdisplay this help and exit
−−versionoutput version information and exit
Use one, and only one of −b, −c or −f. Each LIST is made up of one range,
or many ranges separated by commas. Selected input is written
in the same order that it is read, and is written exactly
once. Each range is one of:
NN'th byte, character or field, counted from 1
from N'th byte, character or field, to end of line
from N'th to M'th (included) byte, character or field
−Mfrom first to M'th (included) byte, character or field
With no FILE, or when FILE is −, read standard input.
The full documentation for cut is maintained as a Texinfo manual. If the info and cut programs are properly installed at your site, the command
info cut
should give you access to the complete manual.
