I am not sure if this is a bug or just lack of knowledge on my part. In Unix I could always use 'cut' to pull the needed fields out of our text files. In GNU Utilities I can't find any combination of parameters that will allow using 'cut' on a file delimited by spaces. Is it possible to cut a file using a SPACE as a delimiter between fields? I got around this by first substituting a ',' for a space between the fields. I still feel there should be a way to use a ' ' (space) as a field delimiter. Thank you. SmileS
