yes - we're defining the left paren as the field delimiter, and
cut will complain and refuse to work if you just give it -d(

-f takes a list of fields to output, so in this case, -f2 means to
output the second field. If you needed more fields, you could use
something like '-f1,3,5' (fields 1, 3, and 5) or '-f1-4' (fields 1
through 4), or whatever, depending on the need.
