-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Luca Gesmundo on 10/13/2008 1:21 AM: > cut -d\ -f3
You are invoking "cut" "-d -f3", that is, providing the four characters " -f3" as the argument for -d. What you probably wanted was either of: cut -d\\ -f3 cut -d'\' -f3 which shell quoting then turns into "cut" "-d\" "-f3" (just a single backslash to -d, and a separate argument for -f3). - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
