[TriLUG] Need some help parsing a file

[John Vaughters]

Peter did make me think of one nice little feature about cut that I use to find the correct field.

echo '11/09/2013  11:49 AM        7,887,098 this is filename 1.txt' | cut -d ' ' -f 16


That is what will work. But what I did to find it is this 

echo '11/09/2013  11:49 AM        7,887,098 this is filename 1.txt' | cut -d ' ' -f 8,12,15,16


Basically each space adds another field and to find the field you want can put multiple fields.

Hahaha,



Thanks for the Humility Peter. I Imagine with a little extra work you were able to make it work. 

Concept is the same. Hence disclaimer.
