See Question&Answers more detail:oscut removes sections from each line of files. From man cut
:
-c
specifies a range of characters--complement
complement the set of selected bytes, characters or fields
this can be help to print from first to 11th character, from 18th to 32th and from 45th to the end:
cut -c -11,18-32,45- yourFile
or
cut -c 12-17,33-44 text --complement yourFile
