How do I make the delimiter for cut be a single character with hex value 1e?I tried in a script file: DELIMITER='\x1e' DD=`echo $DATA | cut -f 1 --delimiter $DELIMITER` and it tells me: cut: the delimiter must be a single character Jerry
It appears that the line should be:
DELIMITER=$'\x1e'
Note the dollar sign before the apostrophe. I had to look it up in the bash man page as I knew there was a way to do it but I could
not remember how. You will find the reference to it under QUOTING in the paragraph starting "Words of the form $’string’ are
treated specially."
