Use one, and only one of -b, -c or -f.  Each LIST is made up of one range, or many  ranges  separated  by
commas.   Selected input is written in the same order that it is read, and is written exactly once.  Each
range is one of:

N      N'th byte, character or field, counted from 1

N-     from N'th byte, character or field, to end of line

N-M    from N'th to M'th (included) byte, character or field

-M     from first to M'th (included) byte, character or field
