The code you have mentioned will copy the specified columns of the file to a new file.
Is there any way to delete the specified columns from existing file?
AFAIK, awk cannot do a read and write on the same file. You have to make use of the temporary file and then rename it to the original file.
You can use either perl or sed if you dont want the redirection of output to a different file.
The sed solution might not very portable. Because, not every sed has a -i option. You would need GNU sed for that.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
fixnt
fixnt(1) Debian fixnt(1)NAME
fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.
SYNOPSIS
fixnt < BADFILE.ps > GOODFILE.ps
DESCRIPTION
The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils. fixnt is a filter
that fixes these problems, allowing the use of psnup(1).
The filter takes the broken postscript file on stdin, and outputs a fixed postscript file on stdout. It has no other form for invocation
and takes no options on the command-line.
OPTIONS
fixnt takes no options.
BUGS
fixnt does not check for NTPSOct94. For a workaround, use a sed(1) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so:
sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g'
This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users.

REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files.
Patches are always welcome; send to <bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>.
