What does this do that cut can’t?
- LeonB 6y agoThis is a poor question as it invokes the Turing tarpit. (Why using any language that is higher level than machine code?) If it is more comfortable to use for some people then it’s a great invention.

- Legogris 6y agoSelect fields from output with space-delimiters (commands like `docker images`, which have to be preprocessed with tr)
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoNothing, but try doing a general version of: echo -e "foo bar baz" | choose -1 -2 With cut.
- fwip 6y agoecho -e "foo bar baz" | xargs | cut -d\ -f1,2
