  • This is pretty hardcoded to the above example which is probably one in a million. Commented Mar 23, 2023 at 9:57
  • yes, but it shows, how you would always get the right columns. this would work even if the column you look for contains sometimes extra spaces Commented Jan 17, 2024 at 9:37
  • This cuts out the characters from the 35th position up to the 38th position, regardless of the content. To cut this way properly, you have to be sure your columns 1. are always the same width, 2. are always start at the same position. As soon as one of the rows contain 123.5 Mbits/sec and/or download time goes up to 234.0- 235.0 sec level, the above solution is bust. Your solution is rigid, the above task needs a flexible one.
