Hi ,cat jobs.txt | cut -c5-
I am new to unix .
I have a file to read and after reading each line I want to strip off
the first 3 characters and store in another variable.
Cut command cuts the first 3 characters but I do not how to get the
rest of letters.
For ex:
I have a line XXX_JOBNAME
Here is the code
cat jobs.txt |cut -c1-4
This prints XXXX_.
I want JOBNAME to be printed .But length of JOBNAME differs in each
line.
You don't need the cat; you could write
cut -c5- <jobs.txt
