+# The `cut` command
+
+The `cut` command lets you remove sections from each line of files. Print selected parts of lines from each FILE to standard output. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
+
+### Usage and Examples:
+
+1. Selecting specific fields in a file
+```
+cut -d "delimiter" -f (field number) file.txt
+```
+
+2. Selecting specific characters:
+```
+cut -c [(k)-(n)/(k),(n)/(n)] filename
+```
+Here, **k** denotes the starting position of the character and **n** denotes the ending position of the character in each line, if _k_ and _n_ are separated by “-” otherwise they are only the position of character in each line from the file taken as an input.
+
+3. Selecting specific bytes:
+```
+cut -b 1,2,3 filename 			//select bytes 1,2 and 3
+cut -b 1-4 filename				//select bytes 1 through 4
+cut -b 1- filename				//select bytes 1 through the end of file
+cut -b -4 filename				//select bytes from the beginning till the 4th byte
+```
+**Tabs and backspaces** are treated like as a character of 1 byte.
+
+### Syntax:
+
+```
+cut OPTION... [FILE]...
+```
