CUT(1)			     Schily's USER COMMANDS			  CUT(1)

NAME
     cut - dissects files by field

SYNOPSIS
     cut [ d=C ] [ od=C ] [ c=range ] [ f=range ] [ -nod ] [ -s ] [ file ]

DESCRIPTION
     Cut isolates specified columns or fields of a file, or standard input if no
     file is specified, and reorders them to standard output.

     Cut  assumes  that  the input file is divided into columns of characters or
     fields separated by tabs. You can, however, specify other single  character
     delimiters with the d=C option.

     Cut writes its result to standard output with either the default tab or the
     specified delimiter character, specified with the od=C option.

OPTIONS
     d=C    C  (a single character) specifies input delimiter (default character
	    is TAB, \t).

     od=C   C (a single character) specifies output delimiter (default character
	    is TAB, \t).

     c=range
	    Specifies the character position to extract. Character positions can
	    be specified  individually,  by  ranges  or  both,	e.g.,  c=1,2  or
	    c=1-3,5,7-9. Character positions are numbered beginning with 1.

     f=range
	    Specifies field number to extract. Fields can be specified individu-
	    ally  or  in  ranges as with c=range.  Fields are numbered beginning
	    with 1.

     -nod   Suppress output  delimiter	when  cutting  by  fields.   Cutting  by
	    columns never has an output delimiter.

     -s     Suppresses	lines without the delimiter. This option is mutually ex-
	    clusive to character specification.

BUGS
     None currently known.
