[Gllug] Utility to pull fields from lines of a file

[John Winters]

It must be old age but I've forgotten the name of a standard UNIX utility.

All I want to do is process a file containing lines like this:

able/baker/charlie
home/made/cakes

and pull out the second field ("baker" and "made") from each one.  I 
know I've done it a zillion times before (and you could of course do it 
with Perl) but I'm sure there's a simple UNIX utility which does it.

Will someone prompt my failing memory please?

TIA,
John
