let's say you have a listing like this in a file name list.txt:
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
if you wanna print the "bbb" column, you just have to do like this:
cat list.txt | awk '{ print $2 }'
if the listing is like this:
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
then you do:
cat list.txt | awk -F';' '{ print $2 }'
and so on. I sugest you read awk and gawk man pages for more info.
they are very complete.
