Same as on UNIX cut -c2-3,6-8 a.dat > a2.dat > Is there simple way to convert the cut command to a script on windows, Using notepad or other text editor put it in file a.bat and then issue this command from the console a.bat Note that you could process it multiple time if you like: cut -c6-8 a.dat > a2.dat cut -c2-3 a2.dat > a3.dat produces the same thing but uses 2 passes and so keeps each line shorter.
