About:
Tuc is a command-line tool for fast and precise text manipulation, designed as a modern alternative to cut. It supports splitting lines by strings, regular expressions, or byte positions, and can handle multiple delimiters and fields efficiently.
Key Features:
  • Split by string, regex, or byte positions
  • Support for multiple delimiters and negative field indexing
  • High performance with low memory overhead
  • Complements or replaces cut, awk, and sed for simple field extraction
Use Cases:
  • Parsing CSV, TSV, or space-separated logs and data files
  • Extracting specific columns or tokens from command output pipelines
  • Quick text slicing in shell scripts without heavy scripting languages
Alternatives:
  • cut – Standard Unix tool; lacks regex and multi-delimiter support
  • awk – More powerful but heavier for simple field extraction
  • sed – Stream editor; overkill for basic splitting tasks
