how to use multiple linux cut comman to display on same line, in script ?
e.g ls -il | cut -f6 d:
ls - il cut -f9 -d:

The linux script output is
filename
123

How to use cut to display on same line ?

depending on what you want to do, you may find the "tr" command useful,
for example


ls -il | cut -f6 -d: |tr -d [:cntrl:]

will delete the control characters (tabs, new lines) from the output, so the following command will start printing in the same line. But as "ls" will output several lines, you will get a mess unless there is only one file in the directory.

maybe something like


ls -il | awk '{print $6, $9}'

will give you better results.
(look at the IFS variable of awk to change the separating field from "space" to ":" or whatever you need)
