  The Cut Command
  
  from Yes I Know IT!
  
  The `cut` command is a POSIX-defined utility to remove unwanted data from a tabular text data file. With the `cut` utility you can remove bytes, character range ("columns") or fields on each line of an input file. Something that is particularly useful when you have to pre-process a CSV file from (or "for") a spreadsheet or a database.
