col1 [SEPARATOR]

📖 DESCRIPTION

📜 col1 is a simple script that conveniently splits and prints a given column, where the column to print is the name of the script program you're running (col1-col9). col2-col9 are symlinks to col1; their behavior simply changes based on the name called.

📌 NF can be used to print the last field.

⚙️ The program takes one optional argument, the input field separator (whitespace, by default).

💡 EXAMPLES

• 🔹 Rather than:

  mount | awk '{print $3}'

  Try:

  mount | col3

• 🔹 Instead of:

  cat /etc/passwd | awk -F":" '{print $7}'

  You can just do:

  cat /etc/passwd | col7 :

• 🔹 Or

  cat /etc/passwd | NF :
