Hmm. Does xargs give you a way to skip the first arg? xargs -n 2 I {} almost works, but you’d need a way to extract a specific arg out of the {}. Which I just realized I don’t know how to do.
“(at 0 {})” would be a nice construction.
But then of course now you’re writing xargs -n 2 -I {} echo (at 1 {}) instead of just awk {print $2}, so it’s mission failed successfully.
