You are adding a high score screen for your game which will display the Score column first, then the Player, then Team. No other columns will be shown, and data should be sorted with the highest score appearing first. Write a series of commands to do this using cut and paste. cut arcade.csv -d, -f1,2 > player.txt cut arcade.csv -d, -f6 > score.txt paste score.txt player.txt i understand the sequence of commands but i just thought that you have to always put a field, or specify a character after -d, is that not the case? and if so why is that? the rest i understand that in order to have "two" columns to manipulate you would use paste
