The 'cut' command is used to cut sections from lines of text.

- Print the third character (-c) on each line:
cut -c 3 /path/to/file
command | cut -c 3

- Print characters 5-10 of each line of a file:
cut -c 5-10 path/to/file

- Split each line using a delimiter into fields, and print fields (-f) 2 and 5:
cut -f 2,5 path/to/file
NOTE The default delimiter is the TAB.

- Split each line using a specified delimiter (-d) and print field 4 and all fields after:
cut -d ":" -f 4- /etc/passwd
NOTE The /etc/passwd file uses colons to separate fields of information.

- Split each line using a specified delimiter (-d) and print field 4 and all fields previous:
cut -d ":" -f -4 /etc/passwd

- Do not print lines that do not contain the delimiter (-s):
cut -d " " -f -4 -s .bashrc
