I don't appear to have a cut utility on my Windows desktop (which is where I use SQL*Plus). I do however have Vim, which is also on our Solaris and Linux servers as well as at home on my Mac. Also the solution I gave will work in classic vi.

No. cut is part of the Unix standard distro and is installed by default everywhere *n*x including Linux.
vim is installed in many Linux distros but is not part of standard Unix. Of course, it can be installed.
My point is that it is NOT part of the standard install. As such, one cannot rely on it being always present.
