unable to run cut -d\

[Luca Gesmundo]

Dear All,

as suggested I am running the following command to clean config files. I
also need to do that to install ndiswrapper.

sudo dpkg --purge `COLUMNS=300 dpkg -l "*" | egrep "^rc" | cut -d -f3`
or
sudo dpkg --purge `COLUMNS=300 dpkg -l "*" | egrep "^rc" | cut -d\ -f3`

However here is what I get in both cases:

cut: il delimitatore deve essere un singolo carattere
Usare "cut --help" per ulteriori informazioni.

Ubuntu is 8.04.

Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?

Thanks
Luca
