Is it possible to use a string as a delimiter in unix cut command?
When I read man for cut it states ... delim can be a multi-byte character.
Multi-byte, but just one character, not a string.
canti:~$ ll | cut --delimiter="delim" -f 1,2cut: the delimiter must be a single characterTry `cut --help' for more information.canti:~$ cut --version cut (GNU coreutils) 5.97You can specify only output delimiter as a string (useless in this case):
--output-delimiter=STRING use STRING as the output delimiter the default is to use the input delimiter
