Equivalent UNIX 'cut' command in Windows Powershell

[Echa]

If you are using the UNIX like system, you might have seen that, there we use cut command to extract few fields from a file. For example

cut -d";" -f 4-5 file.txt

But I need an equivalent cut command in Windows powershell. I used the split command but I didn?t get the same result. Can anyone suggest me a good command?

I tried the following command but it is little more tricky and lengthy.

  Get-Content Test.txt | %{"$($_.Split(',')[2..4])"}  | Foreach-Object {$_ -replace " ", ","}

How about the following commands for Windows Shell

PS> get-content test.csv
name,value1,value2
foo,1,2
foo,1,2
foo,1,2
foo,1,2

PS> import-csv test.csv | select value1

value1
------
1
1
1
1

PS> import-csv test.csv | foreach-object {[int]$_.value1 + 1}
