pulling a column from a file in ksh
I would like to pull a column from a file and place it in a variable:
The file would look like this:
N.Korea gibberish garbage
S.Korea gibberish garbage
USA gibberish garbage
Iraq gibberish garbage
Canada gibberish garbage
and items in the first column would be one word only. I would like to place the whole column in a variable. I think sed would be good for this, but I'm not sure of the syntax.
Thanks
