Isn't that what your examples illustrate?
When you say 'cut words' what do you example mean?
Please provide a sample input a desired output.
I have several lines similar to this. The first one if you count it you can see has 6 words and the second one has 4 words. On the lines that have 6 words I would like to cut the 6th word and output it to my screen and on the lines that have 4 words I would like to cut the 4th word and output it to my screen.
