tabulation

What command(s) will feed a tab-delimited text file and cut each line to 80 characters?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

I’ve got multiple-line text files of (sometimes) tab-delimited data. I’d like to output the file so I can glance over it – so I’d like to only see the first 80 characters of each line (I designed the text file to put the important stuff first on each line).
