Hi guys,
I have a lot of text file need to be formatted so i am getting my hand dirty with the shell for a week. Right now i have a problem with the delimiter in some command like cut. I want to set the delimiter to a tab but i dont know how to express a tab in a linux command. i havw tried /t, Ctl-v tab
for example:
Code:
cut -d/t -f1 myfile
cut -d(i typed ctrl-v tab here) -f1 myfile
but none of them seem to work
Can anyone tell me how to express tab and space in the shell command?
Thanks in advance
