How do I use a string in the cut? command: cut -d"String" -f1 but he says it is only possible with a single character.

linux bash shell-script

  • What man cut says about it? Why do you need a word as delimiter?

With cut, I believe it is not possible, but you can use the awk:

awk -F"string" '{print $1}' file

  • Perfect! I’ll research more on that awk.
