Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

I would like to remove the first column of lines beginning by a character (in my case is an open square bracket) and finishing by a space (or any other delimiter).

For example:

Code:

[^character]string1 string2 string3

to

Code:

string2 string3

I found this previous topic:

unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/104524-delete-first-column-tab-delimited-text-file.html

but I didn't figure out how to select lines beginning by a square bracket.

Thanks,


Elena

Try

Code:

sed 's/^\[[^ ]*//' infile

Or post an example of input you have and output you expect
