Hi, Brian:

 Thanks.  Your suggestion is the similar to Jim's with
the arguments reversed.

 You and Jim have fed me. Thanks.
Please teach me to fish.  ;-)

 I don't understand the '-f1' and '-f2' arguments.

IMHO, 'man cut' and 'info cut' are equally obfuscating:

-f, --fields=LIST
 output only these fields

duh, what!

Please briefly explain.

Regards, Chuck
