cut -d -f$list

[erche]

Hello,
I have a problem with cut -d -f$list
the requirements of "cut" command, the list have to be sorted increasing.
but, somehow, i have a list which is have to look like this :

1,2,3,4,5,29,25,11,15,231,227,213,217,433,429,415,
419,635,631,617,621,
837,833,819,823,1039,1035,1021,1025,1241,1237,1223
,1227,1443,1439,
1425,1429,1645,1641,1627,1631,1847,1843,1829,1833,
2049,2045,2031,
2035,2251,2247,2233,2237

Anyway, the list has to look like that.
So, I hope that somebody would give me suggestions how to make it work ?

Thanks in advance

Post a sample of the contents of $list and highlight the fields required for the cut - It may make some sense to us then !
