Bug Command to remove numbers from beginning of txt file
Hello. I have the following issue: my txt file has the following format:
train/dr4/fklc0/sx175.txt 0 80282 Severe myopia contributed to Ron's inferiority complex. train/dr4/fklc0/sx355.txt 0 42906 Dolphins are intelligent marine mammals. train/dr4/fklc0/sa2.txt

With the command:
Code:
awk 'NR%2==0' test1.txt > test2.txt

I managed to
eliminate the first , third and fifth sentence. I don't know what command to use to eliminate the numbers at
the beginning of each line and put it in another output file.

Thank you very much
