remove first few characters from each line
Hi Itkamaraj,

Just want to know why we keep [code] ......}1' input.txt [\code] at the end of code.


Code:
nawk -F: -v OFS=":" '{$1=substr($1,length($1)-10,11)}1' input.txt

Also do we not have any way to read string from backside by speicifying index as -.

Thanks
Krsnadasa
