Unix cut command examples

I'm sure many of you are familiar with the unix cut command, but what you may not know is that it can not only cut sing fields, but also ranges of fields as well as columns.
For instance if you want to see filed 27-30 of a pipe delimited file try:
cat file | cut -d"|" -f27-30

and if you just want to see columns 27 and 30 with out the rest of the stuff between try:
cat file | cut-d"|" -f27,30
