I have a tab separated file_all with 21 fields.



header    f1    f2    f3    f4 ...
name1 a b c d ...
...


I need 20 separate files such that file1 contains



header    f1    
name1 a
...


and file2 contains



header    f2    
name1 b
...


I can manually do this by



cut -f1,3 file_all > file1


and so on.
Is there an automated way to do this? Thank you.

          #!/bin/bash


          for ((n=2; n<22; n++))
          {
          cut -f 1,"$n" file_all > file${n}

          }


          This is the code I've used to resolve this.
