https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cut

link above have nice examples

Examples of use of similar tools in cut's domain:

echo a b|awk '{print $2}'
Displays "b", separating fields by any number of tabs or spaces. Thus, for awk, "b" is the 2nd field, while for cut -d" ", "b" is the 3rd field.
echo a b|awk '{print $2 $1}'
Displays "ba", preserving the order of the fields as specified....
