1. Randal Schwartz likes to call that UUOC (Useless Use Of cat). :-)
You can just do this instead:
cut -d, -f3 < abc.txt
If you like the input file at the start of the command line, that's legal, too:
< abc.txt cut -d, -f3
You can read more about UUOC at: http://sial.org/code/shell/tips/useless-cat/
2. The above simply returns the third field. OP appeared to want only
lines containing "univ". So:
cut -d, -f3 < abc.txt | grep univ
3. I'll leave the quote removal as an exercise to the reader. ;-)
