try on your machine
The given command ${command} | cut -d "${,}" -${c} ${1} is a combination of two commands connected by the pipe (|) operator.
-
${command}: This is a variable representing a command to be executed. The actual value of ${command} would be substituted at runtime. The output of this command will be passed as input to the next part of the command.
-
cut -d "${,}" -${c} ${1}: The cut command is used to extract specific sections (columns) of input data. Here, it is used with the following options/arguments:
- -d "${,}": This specifies the delimiter used in the input data. The delimiter is set to ${,}, which means it is a variable and will be replaced with its actual value.
- -${c}: This option specifies the column(s) to be extracted from the input data. The ${c} is again a variable, which will be replaced with its actual value.
- ${1}: This represents the input data file or stream. ${1} is another variable, and it will be replaced by the actual value containing the input data.
Overall, this command takes the output of the ${command} and passes it as input to the cut command. The cut command then extracts specific columns from the input data using the specified delimiter and column number(s).
