shell script(Preferably awk or sed) to print selected number of columns from each row
Hi Experts,
The question may look very silly by seeing the title, but please have a look at it clearly.
I have a text file where the first 5 columns in each row were supposed to be attributes of a sample(like sample name, number, status etc) and the next 25 columns are parameters on which I am interested in looking at.
But the problem is for some of the rows in the text file we don't have all the 5 columns(first 5 fields). Then the parameter column will be left offset by 1 or 2 columns etc depending on the number of missing attribute columns.
So I decided to print the last 25 columns starting from the last column so that for each sample I get my required parameters from which I need make some plots.
I need the script preferable using awk, sed and grep.
Many thanks friends..

tk::table
Table(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Table(3)
NAME
Tk::Table - Scrollable 2 dimensional table of Tk widgets
SYNOPSIS
use Tk::Table;
$table = $parent->Table(-rows => number,
-columns => number,
-scrollbars => anchor,
-fixedrows => number,
-fixedcolumns => number,
-takefocus => boolean);
$widget = $table->Button(...);
$old = $table->put($row,$col,$widget);
$old = $table->put($row,$col,"Text"); # simple Label
$widget = $table->get($row,$col);
$cols = $table->totalColumns;
$rows = $table->totalRows;
$table->see($widget);
$table->see($row,$col);
($row,$col) = $table->Posn($widget);
DESCRIPTION
Tk::Table is an all-perl widget/geometry manager which allows a two dimensional table of arbitary perl/Tk widgets to be displayed.
Entries in the Table are simply ordinary perl/Tk widgets. They should be created with the Table as their parent. Widgets are positioned in
the table using:
$table->put($row,$col,$widget)
If $widget is not a reference it is treated as a string, and a Lable widget is created with the string as its text.
All the widgets in each column are set to the same width - the requested width of the widest widget in the column. Likewise, all the
widgets in each row are set to the same height - the requested height of the tallest widget in the column.
A number of rows and/or columns can be marked as 'fixed' - and so can serve as 'headings' for the remainder the rows which are scrollable.
The requested size of the table as a whole is such that the number of rows specified by -rows (default 10), and number of columns specified
by -columns (default 10) can be displayed.
If the Table is told it can take the keyboard focus then cursor and scroll keys scroll the displayed widgets.
The Table will create and manage its own scrollbars if requested via -scrollbars.
The table can be emptied using
$table->clear
the widgets which were in the table are destroyed.
The Tk::Table widget is derived from a Tk::Frame, so inherits all its configure options.
BUGS
/ Snags / Possible enhancements
o Very large Tables consume a lot of X windows.
o No equivalent of pack's -anchor/-pad etc. options
