Right. so cut comes out of the box with pretty much all flavors of UNIX, including the plagiarized ones. You can get it on windows by installing waterloo or cygwin, or pretty much any windows compatible unix-like toolset.
Vim can be added (or is present by default) to various flavors of UNIX and windows and fruit based human interfaces, which seems is the case for William.
Youse guys don't really disagree, you're just talking past each other. I'm not sure what default utility there is on windows to do the described functionality. But you can have either cut or Vim pretty easily (but neither automatically on all the things that pass for operating systems these days unless some corporate install group supplied it.)

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.

I know about vim. It's not available everywhere.
