Question on cut
Korn Shell I have a file whose values are delimited using colon ( : ) Code:
$ cat test.txt hello:myde:temp:stiker $ cut -d: -f2,4 test.txt myde:stiker I want field 2 and field 4 to be returned but separated by a hyphen. The output should look like Code:
myde-stiker How can do this ? (without awk if possible) |

It didn't work for me Code:
# echo "hello:myde:temp:stiker" | cut -d: --output-delimiter='-' -f2,4
cut: illegal option -- output-delimiter=-
usage: cut -b list [-n] [filename ...]
cut -c list [filename ...]
cut -f list [-d delim] [-s] [filename]
#
# echo "hello:myde:temp:stiker" | cut -d: --output-delimiter="-" -f2,4
cut: illegal option -- output-delimiter=-
usage: cut -b list [-n] [filename ...]
cut -c list [filename ...]
cut -f list [-d delim] [-s] [filename]
# cut -d: -f2,4 test.txt --output-delimiter="-"
myde:stiker
cut: cannot open --output-delimiter=-
# cut -d: -f2,4 test.txt --output-delimiter='-'
myde:stiker
cut: cannot open --output-delimiter=-My environment Code:
# uname -a SunOS tigris178 5.10 Generic_147441-01 i86pc i386 i86pc # echo $0 ksh |

$ echo "hello:myde:temp:stiker" | cut -d: -f2,4 | tr ':' '-' myde-stiker |

Or revert to awk: Code:
awk -F: '{print $2,$4}' OFS=- infileLast edited by Scrutinizer; 06-28-2012 at 09:01 AM.. |
