As seen at https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/cut-invocation.html, the section for ‘-f field-list’‘--fields=field-list’ hints at some examples of using awk. The second example is wrong. it states:awk '{print $NF-1}' # print the penultimate fieldwhen it should beawk '{print $(NF-1)}' # print the penultimate fieldi.e., parenthesis missing.

Indeed. I guess that was tested with echo 1 2 3 :) Committed in your name at: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.27-22-g8d34b45 thanks, Pádraig
