1 Preliminary information 
The   ffe   program is a used to extract fields from flat files and to print them in different formats. 
The input file structure and printing definitions are defined in a configuration file, which is always required. 
Default configuration file is   ~/.fferc   ( ffe.rc   in windows).   
ffe   is a command line tool developed for GNU/Linux and UNIX systems.   
ffe   can read from standard input and write to standard output, so it can be used as a part of a pipeline.
