  • These 3 test cases agree between GNU and OpenBSD, but this version of cut didn't work properly
  • Multiple bytes can be separated by commas
  • A negative number means a range 1-x
  • Two numbers joined by dash means a range x-y
  • If the same byte number is repeated, only print it once
  • test1: "perl cut -b 1,1,1,3,1 a.c" --> interpret as -b 1,3
  • test2: "perl cut -b 1,1,1,-3,1 a.c" --> interpret as -b 1-3
  • test3: "perl cut -b 1,1,1,3,2-4 a.c" --> interpret as -b 1-4
