Somebody can help me to learn how to use the electrum wallet to withdraw bitcoin cash?

Electrum is only supporting bitcoin and not bitcoin cash. You can download Unstoppable wallet and import your bitcoin cash private key on the wallet to see if you can be able to use it to have access to your bitcoin cash.

Know that bitcoin is not bitcoin cash.

The bitcoin version (which is the original one) is called Electrum while there is another version (not made by the same developers) called Electron Cash if I'm not mistaken.

If you have used any wallet prior to this, this should be a pretty straight forward process. You install the wallet, run it, follow the steps, and you just make sure to save your seedphrase.

I might have been late to the party but I haven't readanywhere that Electrum team had created a wallet for the altcoin. I would be interested to know whether the wallet is still available or it has been abandoned. Please can you share some more insight to support your statement.

Your reply here doesn't make much sense as you are asking a guy who is asking for solution. BTW, you are making it more complicated. If, I were you I would have asked him to search Google or convert those coins to Bitcoin using an exchange to Bitcoin and then use Electrum wallet to store them.

He is only looking for solution to help himself and not asking anyone here for details.

As I have mentioned, It's not made by the same developers. But since Electrum is open source, anyone can fork it and make a copy of the software with some tweaks in the code.

I believe this is the original repository: https://github.com/Electron-Cash/Electron-Cash

I don't use the wallet but I know it was quite popular back when there was a split and people could've claimed some BCH. So do your own research.

As for the second part of your statement, then I didn't understand exactly what OP was looking for. Does he have some BCH on an exchange that he wants to withdraw to Electron cash? Does he have some funds on Electrum from a very long time ago, and now he wants to claim some BCH? etc.

This is what I think upon reading the question of OP.
@OP you might want to clear it as well if you've got some funds on your electrum wallet prior to the split/fork of Bitcoin Cash way back then that you haven't claimed yet. And if you want to claim it, OmegaStarScream just gave you the wallet on how you'll get the splitted BCH so that you can withdraw it through it, the electron cash.
