Snippet: col

20th Apr 2008 | Tags: ruby snippet

#!/usr/bin/env ruby col = ARGV.pop.to_i-1 while line = gets puts line.chomp.split(/\s+/)[col] end

For when you just want a list of filenames from version control, hg st | grep '?' | col 2

And because I can never remember the standard unix tool that does the same thing, and awk is awkward.
