# Introduction In this lab, you will learn how to use the `cut` command in Linux to extract and analyze data from text files. We'll simulate a scenario where you're working at a local bookstore and need to process customer and book information. The `cut` command will help you extract specific columns or fields from your data files, enabling efficient data management and analysis. ## Prerequisites Before starting this lab, ensure you have: - Basic familiarity with the Linux command line - Access to a Linux terminal (this lab assumes you're using a terminal in the `/home/labex/project` directory)
