In Perl, that would be
perl -lane 'print "$F[0] $F[1] $F[5]"' filename
See the perlrun manpage about all of the command line
switches. Here I use
-e - run Perl code specified in the following argument
-n - assume a basic loop like while(<>){ ... } around
the Perl code.
-l - Add a cr/lf (or whatever is suitable) to each print
-a - run in autosplit mode, i.e. split each input line
to the @F array.
HTH,
Thomas
