oy. darn 1-index. Thanks, Don.
but yes, everything outputted by awk goes to cut. cut doesn't have logic like awk does. But awk can determine if it's an odd line and also skip the first 5 characters.
the 1 at the end is shorthand for {print $0}, so that lines that weren't modified will still be printed as they were.
