Howdy, Y'all:

 Using 'grep' I've parsed some stdout to lines ending in
...(123.45.67.89):
 How can I either:
  extract the last 17 characters
  all characters after the first "("
  all characters from "(" to ")"
 ?

 I tried
cut -c ".0123456789" filename.txt
 but it returns 
cut: invalid byte or field list.

Regards, Chuck
