Hello,
the missing of a single excample inside the "cut"-man-page could only be
solved by consulting an old unix-man-page found in the web.
I like man-pages but they are useless without a single excample if you are new
to a command....
e.g. how to use "cut" to extract columns 1 and 5 of /etc/passwd
cut -d: -f1,5 /etc/passwd
That simple excample is worth a dozen lines of parameter explanations.
When I "know where the rabit runs to" I could refine the stuff to my special
needs consulting the rest of the man-page.
That method is very effective and gives instant satisfaction :)
best regards
Jan Mentzel
