colrm [first] [last]

colrm removes selected columns from text read from standard input. Columns are counted from 1. If only one argument is given, columns from that number to the end of line are removed.
The tool is useful for text processing pipelines where specific column ranges need to be stripped.

first

First column to remove (1-indexed)

Last column to remove (optional, defaults to end of line)

Column counting starts at 1, not 0. Tabs are treated as advancing to the next multiple of 8 columns. Part of the util-linux package.
