I'm a complete beginner in UNIX (and not a computer science student either), just undergoing a tutoring course. Trying to replicate the instructions on my own I directed output of the ls listing command (lists all files of my home directory ) to My_dir.tsv file (see the screenshot) to make use of cut command so to have columns 1,3,4,9 cut (e.g. "left").
However when I'm trying to execute the command
nothing happens. I guess it's because the file isn't formatted properly with regard to implementing tabbed spaces. I imagined that automatic formatting, with the deployment of columns I see in output, emerging along with the result of ls is a .tsv file by default but I was wrong.
What should I do to make it work as intended? How do I make a real .tsv file of ls output?
I want to cut two coloums simulatiously and paste in some other file
for ex:
cut d ' ' -f3 -f4 xxx | paste yyy - > zzz;
from the above i want to cut two fileds 3 and 4 and paste as last coloums of single file (zzz).
how to solve this

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cbcodec commands.
cbcodec is a tool to use encoding and decoding features provided by Cabin. This command is used in the above format. file specifies a
input file. If it is omitted, the standard input is read.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#cabincli.
-d perform decoding (unescaping), not encoding (escaping).
-br break up URL into elements.
-rs resolve relative URL.
-l output the tailing newline.
-e expr
specify input data directly.
-c num limit the number of columns of the encoded data.
-hd parse MIME and extract headers in TSV format.
-bd parse MIME and extract the body.
-part num
parse MIME and extract a part.
-ec code
specify the input encoding, which is UTF-8 by default.
-qp use quoted-printable encoding, which is Base64 by default.
-dc output the encoding name instead of the result string when decoding.
-t parse CSV. Convert the data into TSV. Tab and new-line in a cell are deleted.
-html parse CSV. Convert the data into HTML.
-p parse XML. Show tags and text sections with dividing headers.
-tsv parse XML. Show the result in TSV format. Characters of tabs and new-lines are URL-encoded.
-gz use GZIP format.
-crc output the CRC32 checksum as hexadecimal and big endian.
-ic code
specify the input encoding, which is detected automatically by default.
-oc code
specify the output encoding, which is UTF-8 by default.
-ol ltype
convert line feed characters, with `unix'(LF), `dos'(CRLF), and `mac'(CR).
-cn detect the input encoding and show its name.
-wc count the number of characters of the input string of UTF-8.
-um output mappings of UCS-2 characters and C strings of UTF-16BE and UTF-8.
-wf output in W3CDTF format.
-rf output in RFC 1123 format.
-utc output the coordinate universal time.
