<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B></B>
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.
<P>
If only the
<I>start</I>
column is specified, columns numbered less than the
<I>start</I>
column will be written.
If both
<I>start</I>
and
<I>stop</I>
columns are specified, columns numbered less than the
<I>start</I>
column
or greater than the
<I>stop</I>
column will be written.
Column numbering starts with one, not zero.
<P>
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight.
Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
