Yo; I have a series of comma-delimited text files with fourteen columns of data and several hundred rows. I want to use a short shell script to strip them of the last 9 columns, leaving the same file but with just five of its columns. I can do it in C++, but that seems like overkill. How would I go about doing it with sed or a similar utility? SigmaX
