Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to cut by delimiter, and delimiter can be anything except numbers? Post 302605079 by ctsgnb on Tuesday 6th of March 2012 03:18:17 PM

@Scruti,

I am just wondering about the wildcard in the '[\t*]' notation, why not to just use '\t' instead ? Is that wildcard just a litteral one (part of the [ ] list), or is it interpreted ?
