According to Luca Gesmundo on 10/13/2008 1:21 AM:
> cut -d\ -f3
You are invoking "cut" "-d -f3", that is, providing the four characters
" -f3" as the argument for -d. What you probably wanted was either of:
cut -d\\ -f3
cut -d'\' -f3
which shell quoting then turns into "cut" "-d\" "-f3" (just a single
backslash to -d, and a separate argument for -f3).

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
