Answer / seshadri sethi
Cut - Utility used to cut/Strip out the required data/text
from the source.
Cut can be used in three modes,
Stripping by Character
cut -c 1-3
Striping by Byte length
cut -b -1-72
Stripping by delimiter and fields.
cut -d “|” -f1
Where
-d “|” -> Delimiter used in input text to separate columns
-f1 -> Field/Column number
While processing huge input files, Cut’s performance is far
better than awk
