(Sorry for being late to the party, just back from a road trip).
Another command-line option would be to use cut. Assuming the fields are
separated by a space:
$ cut -d ' ' -f1 source_file.txt > output_file_1.txt
$ cut -d ' ' -f2 source_file.txt > output_file_1.txt
Where:
-d ‘ ‘ Tells cut the fields are separated by a space
-f 1 Specifieds the field, in this case
field 1
source_file.txt the name of the file containing the data
output_file_1.txt the name of the file you want the output placed
in
If the fields are separated by TAB, place the cursor between the '' (make sure
there is no space) and type Ctrl-V, then TAB.
