• Print the fifth [c]haracter on each line:

{{command}} | cut -c 5

• Print the fifth to tenth [c]haracter of each line of the specified file:

cut -c 5-10 {{path/to/file}}

• Split each line in a file by a delimiter into fields and print [f]ields two and six (default delimiter is TAB):

cut -f 2,6 {{path/to/file}}

• Split each line by the specified [d]elimiter and print all from the second [f]ield onward:

{{command}} | cut -d "{{delimiter}}" -f 2-

• Use space as a [d]elimiter and print only the first 3 [f]ields:

{{command}} | cut -d " " -f -3
