Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes the proper
task IDs.
The utility cut command cuts out columns, fields, or characters displayed from standard input or from
a file.
Use the fields field-list keyword and argument if the fields vary in length from line to line. (The lines
must be separated by a delimiter character.) By default, the field delimiter character is the Tab key. Use
the delimiter delimiter-character keyword and argument to specify a different delimiter.
Use the list character-list keyword and argument only if the fields are of a fixed length. Replace the
character-list argument with the character positions to be extracted.
For the character-list argument, use a comma (,) to indicate more than one character, or use a dash (-) to
indicate a range. For example, utility list 1,2,5 outputs the first, second, and fifth characters, utility list
1-64 outputs the first 64 characters of each line, utility list 5- outputs the fifth character to the end of the
line.
You can also use the cut utility as a filter. If no files are specified, the keyboard input (standard input) is
used.
Keywords are entered using the displayed syntax, or with UNIX-equivalent syntax. The
Note
UNIX-equivalent syntax is displayed in parentheses () in the syntax description. For example, the
keyword fields can also be entered using the UNIX-equivalent (-f). To display the UNIX-equivalent
syntax online, enter the keyword usage.

Examples In the following example, the utility cut command is entered with the list character-list keyword and
