What you typed is about the limit of my awk knowledge. Cut has the annoying
condition that delimeters are one character. So if there is some input:
happy.com OK
test.com REJECT
$ cut -f 2 -d \ <-- space after \
Will print a space, specifically the 2nd space after the com on each column.
$ awk '{print $2}'
will print the OK and REJECT column.
