Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting String operation in csh AIX 4.3.2.0 Post 302992526 by MadeInGermany on Monday 27th of February 2017 04:58:54 AM

The csh can do
Code:
( cat file; echo ) | cut -d";" -f8-

But this will produce an extra empty line if the input file is complete.
--
BTW the cut command in AIX 5.1 can handle an incomplete line.
Another method that might work in AIX 4.x:
Code:
read line < file
echo "$line" | cut -d";" -f8-

Faster but less flexible is
Code:
IFS=";" read x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 x7 rest < file
echo "$rest"
