# Introduction Welcome to the Linux Text Cutting Lab, set within the enchanted halls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In this lab, you're tasked with assisting a brilliant but forgetful Potions Master, who has stored countless potion recipes in a vast text file. However, the recipes are mixed with notes and other information, causing difficulty in finding the potions' ingredients. The goal of this scenario is to extract only the necessary details using the `cut` command – a powerful text-processing tool in Linux – so the Potions Master can easily identify the list of ingredients for each potion. This will not only help the Potions Master in his magical concoctions but will also provide you with the ability to manipulate text files efficiently in a Linux environment. Are you ready to cast some text-manipulating spells?
