  Well, sure. I said it did character ranges so you don't have to use fields. What were you expecting? That your character ranges in ls would match mine?

    > What were you expecting? That your character ranges in ls would match mine? I would expect the command to work in any directory. Try a few different directories on your computer and you'll see that it won't work in some of them.

      > I would expect the command to work in any directory. But ... why expect that? That's not what "character ranges" mean. I mean, I was only trying to clarify that `cut` is not limited to fields only.
