title: printing first word in every line of a txt file unix bash
body: <p>So I'm trying to print the first word in each line of a txt file. The words are separated by one blank.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>cut -c 1 txt file 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thats the code I have so far but it only prints the first character of each line. 
  Thanks </p>
