I'd do the following:
awk '{$1=;print $0}'
(awk recalculates $0 when $n is modified)
This still leaves you with one OFS starting the line (between $1 and
$2), you can get rid of this using
awk '{$1=;print substr($0,lenght(OFS))}'

Re: [gentoo-user] OT: awk scripting
let's say you have a listing like this in a file name list.txt:
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
aaa bbb
if you wanna print the bbb column, you just have to do like this:
cat list.txt | awk '{ print $2 }'
if the listing is like this:
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
aaa;bbb
then you do:
cat list.txt | awk -F';' '{ print $2 }'
and so on. I sugest you read awk and gawk man pages for more info.
they are very complete.
regards, claudio.

I think:
awk '{shift; shift; print $0}'

it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest
clue what's best for them in terms of package stability.

thanks. the function lenght seems not defined. but substr($0,2) works.

That was a typo. Should of course be length.

Sad, but true: There's no shift in awk.
