Sometimes simpler than cut and awk

cut(1) from GNU coreutils (on Linux) does not support negative offsets, so you cannot ask cut to only show you the Nth field from the end. Additionally, to cut by multiple fields, you end up having to write cut ... | cut ... | cut ...

awk lets you select negative offsets using the NF variable. Get the 2nd to last field with $(NF - 1). However, cutting multiple times still requires multiple awk invocations or using awk’s split() function multiple times.
