You perhaps have other options:-
Code:
sed 's/^.* //' input.txt              # Will give you just the last field, so I'm assuming you only have two.
cut -f2- -d" " input.txt              # Will give you all the columns except the first

perl -e 'foreach (<>) {
   @line=split / /;
   shift @line;
   print join (" ",@line)
}' < input.txt                        # Probably a bit long though (and I'm sure someone has a neater way, I'm new to Perl and just practising really)

More importantly, what do you want to do with the data? I'm assuming that this is not your real data and that you have a purpose in mind.

Is this part of a larger shell script perhaps? If you show us the code so far, we can help you work out a suitable solution.




Kind regards,
Robin

NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC LJ250 color inkjet printer. If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file. OPTIONS
-raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com- pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni- tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower. -margin If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci- fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image. PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?. BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation. SEE ALSO
