Cut can be used to abstract fields or characters from a text file or piped command. The output of cut could be parsed to a different command like Sort.

Command:
cut -f 1, -d : input.txt
-f field (use with -d delimiter)
-b byte values (specific characters)
-c range of characers
--output-delimiter= (replace output delimiter)
