For example this is what I type - "-d: -f2, f3 inputfile.d= at". > The following message displays - "cut: fields and positions are numbere= d > from 1". Please advise. Thanks! Your issue is learning the right syntax for calling cut, and not a bug in cut itself. Try using: cut -d: -f2,3 inputfile.dat (notice that specifying multiple fields requires compressing all of the ranges into a single argument, with no space separation). For now I'm closing this bug, although you can continue to reply to it for further discussion. Perhaps that means we should reopen this report if someone is willing to write a documentation patch. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enigD7A012437262C72CA6EAEFF5 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJQPki8AAoJEKeha0olJ0NqbasH/33NR6G9FBY18QmzTUJJTIzb J2oySXwzO3Kb6hPF4HnDnR2+Ata0E1GMpOKT49hPji1pqbAAcjWLSiNcOuBYUjEI 4JF1YxXVXk6wQmcrNJisajQBgQYuHnPw6/+KZy6LMjCO97o2VAa6qncdAb6NDsjM axDhecX2ywFU5+jRb9IANxynp3z5cMxP+JfWJd/Pd6RHILxXtGO+aV8ZRrM5rXYO f8Ok/ll3FNyJD+Ulb+sO1WXFBo9SIg8N0vEyx4eSZ1IakSnbE+OB9u3Pw6mgW4qS SUBIEO/wd/XBBV/hBXNZjupUCIbWb731a0vYcj6oQDeziljyuGHVvEibPWF+Js4= =htna -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigD7A012437262C72CA6EAEFF5-- From unknown Sun Jun 22 11:36:18 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
