Suggestions for adding columns to text file

Good afternoon to everyone,

I have some input and output from various widgets that I am trying to get to play nicely together. Basically I would like to stay out of excel and be able to automate the entire process. I have read some posts here about how to use awk, nawk, etc, to do similar operations, but nothing quite the same.

One thing I need to do is to add a leading column with "index" as the value for the first row, and then sequentially number the remaining rows. I know how to number all rows in sed, but not how to skip the first row. I also need to remove column three at some later point, etc.

I think if I can get these two operations working, I can adapt for the rest.

Thanks a bunch for any suggestions, I think these operations are simple, but many things are simple once you know how.

...not so much otherwise Image
