Grabbing Certain Fields
ok, so a script i wrote spits out an output like the below:


Code:
2,JABABA,BV=114,CV=1,DF=-113,PCT=99.1228%


as you can see, each field is separated by a comma. now, how can I get rid of the first field and ONLY show the rest of the fields.

meaning,

i want to get rid of the "2,", and only show every thing else that comes after that. the reason why this is difficult for me is that the first field isn't always a "2,". the numbers can and do change.

Narrative: sed, at the beginning of the line, substitute for not-comma-characters and comma with nothing.
Code:
 
sed 's/^[^,]*,//'

Code:
cat output | cut -d"," -f2-
