You obviously use a single space as your field delimiter, so the command should look like:

Code:
cut -f1,3 -d' ' file

which will get you the first and third field. You can also use character boundaries instead of delimiters:

Code:
cut -c15-17 file

will cut the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth character and display these three characters from every line as output. Find more of this info at the "fountain of arcane UNIX knowledge", aka "man page".

I hope this helps.
