NAME
colrm --- remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A
column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read from
the standard input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the
start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are
specified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than
the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight.
Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution
of colrm as described in environ(7).
EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO
awk(1), column(1), cut(1), paste(1)
HISTORY
The colrm command appeared in 3.0BSD.
