Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to cut only letters? Post 302851785 by PTcharger on Monday 9th of September 2013 04:30:11 PM

Now that I think about it, I wasn't really clear with my question. I was hoping to cut the items into a new file. Something like cut "just letters"> newfile

It seems like the answers will all remove the letters (or in ths case, spoons, cups,etc.)and will leave just the numbers. However, I want the opposite.

Actually the full line is something like this:

Spoons50Joe
Cups29John
Forks50Jack
Plates29Sam

I want to cut the first part (spoons, cups, forks, plates) and create a new file containing a list of those items only. I don't want to remove all the letters (just the names at the end) and since there is no space, I can't use -f -d

NAME
cups-browsed - A daemon for browsing the Bonjour broadcasts of shared, remote CUPS printers SYNOPSIS
cups-browsed [-v | -d | --debug] DESCRIPTION
cups-browsed has three independently switchable functions: 1. Browse Bonjour broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues pointing to these printers. 2. Browse CUPS broadcasts of remote printers and create/remove local raw queues pointing to these printers. 3. Broadcast local queues with the CUPS protocol. OPTIONS
-v, -d, --debug Debug mode FILES
/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf NOTES
Please take references to cups 1.6.x to include newer versions. Similarily, cups 1.5.x is intended to encompass older versions too. In environments with only cups 1.6.x servers and clients (plus cups-browsed on either server or client or both) the function described in 1. enables the automatic discovery of remote queues and their display in printing dialogues of applications and with command line tools. The facility provided by 3. means that servers running cups 1.6.x plus cups-browsed can broadcast their local queues so that clients with cups 1.5.x get these queues automatically available. The outcome of 2. is that clients running cups 1.6.x plus cups-browsed can use the CUPS broadcasts from servers with cups 1.5.x. As with browsing of Bonjour broadcasts, the created local raw queues are available to appli- cations and command line tools. SEE ALSO
