*CUT* command (Need Help Please!)

I have a txt file with over 5,000 names for example one of the names is :

Jenna Jameson

I made a text file with all these names deliminated by `:` so it looks like this :

Jenna:Jameson

Well I've successfully used the CUT command for the first time to grab all the last names, but how would I go about sending the output to a text file called CO.TXT within the same DIR as CN.TXT (Which contains all the names).

Here is the command I'm using :
CUT -f2 -d: cn.txt

Would appreciate a quick response, thank you kindly for reading this!

Sorry about that silly question, but all of you were newbies at one point and time!

CUT -f2 -d: cn.txt > co.txt

works just fine! But I still love this Forum!

You can use a redirect, like:

CUT -f2 -d: cn.txt > co.txt

The ">" will redirect the output to the file co.txt; watch out though because the ">" will overwrite co.txt if it is already there. A ">>" will append to co.txt if already there. Hope this solves your problem. Send me the link to the porn library when you get it up

BTW, what shell are you using?
