ccut is a UNIX ‘cut’ command.
It adds a couple of extra features (and a couple of features missing).
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- UTF-8 input in -c mode multiple delimiters using a string as the delimiter rather than a character treating runs of a delimiter as one delimiter.
- Quoting using either quotes or backslash within the cut document (for example, honor ” quotes or , in a csv) honoring quotes or backslash in a document but stripping them from output outputting fields in any specified order.
- Outputting a different delimiter than those within the cut document.
- Setting variables in the shell to values of cut fields.
