Hi,

Another solution using 'gawk':

$ awk --version | head -1
GNU Awk 3.1.8
$ awk --posix 'BEGIN { FS="([[:graph:]]+[[:blank:]]+){8}" } { printf "%s\n", $2 }' infile
this is a test.txt
this...

you should Franklin's solution.

nawk '{sub(".*"$8 FS,"");gsub(" ","_")}1' file

Have you tried this?
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '{sub(".*" $8 FS,x)}{print $0 "~"}' file

Try:
/usr/xpg4/bin/sed 's/\([^ ]* *\)\{8\}//;s/$/~/' infile

Try /usr/xpg4/bin/awk

cut -c58- file

Through sed..
sed 's/.*[0-9][0-9]\+ \(.*\)/\1~/' inputfile > outfile

Gives this as output:

$ awk '{for(i=1;i<=8;i++){$i=""};}1' file
this is a test.txt
this test2 .txt
this is test 2.txt
$
and also truncates the spaces.
...

awk '{for(i=1;i<=8;i++){$i=""};}1' file
