remove the numbers

How can I remove the numeric (1,2,3,4,5,etc.) in front of each line? The file look like this..

1CREATE OR REPLACE pROD (p_sc_id number,
2 p_snap_id number , p_sid number, p_halt varchar2 default 'N', p_a_nm varchar2 )
3 as
4 v_rtn number;
5
6 v_rtn := dbms_job.send_message(l_a_nm);
7
8 v_rtn := dbms_job.receive_message(p_sid, c_pipe) ;
9
10
11
12
..
..
100000

up to thousand rows and so on..

Any helps would be appreciated.

Question

Thanks for repsonding.

But it still doens't quite working. The code to get rid of the number is ..

sed 's/^\s*[0-6]\+//' myfile

but myfile still shows the numbers..

1 create view session_trace_file_name
2 as
3 select lower(d.instance_name || '_ora_' || ltrim
4 from v$process a, v$session b, v$instance d
5 where a.addr = b.paddr
6 and b.audsid = sys_context('userenv','sessionid') ;
from v$process a, v$session b, v$instance d


I'd like the output should be like this


create view session_trace_file_name
as
select lower(d.instance_name || '_ora_' || ltrim
from v$process a, v$session b, v$instance d
where a.addr = b.paddr
and b.audsid = sys_context('userenv','sessionid') ;
from v$process a, v$session b, v$instance d

Code:
sed "s/^[0-9]* *//g" FILENAME

Or if every line starts with a number, simpler is:

Code:
cut -d" " -f2- FILENAME
