Extract columns and fields from delimited text files by specifying delimiter and field position. Ideal for processing log files, CSV data, and structured text.

cut-tool -d ',' -f 1,3 data.csv
Features
- Extract fields by position (-f 1,3,5)
- Custom delimiter (-d for comma, tab, space)
- Complement selection (everything except specified fields)
- Output range of characters (-c 1-10)
Examples
# Extract first and third columns from CSV
cut-tool -d ',' -f 1,3 data.csv
# Extract characters 1-10 from each line
cut-tool -c 1-10 file.txt
# Use tab as delimiter
