sed - delete until char x
Hi,

I got a Textfile contains hundreds of lines like this:

PHP Code:
3 02 8293820 0 22 22 
All I need is this:

PHP Code:
293820 0 22 22 
So i decided to delete until the first '8' comes up. But how I can realize that?

Use cut:

Code:
cut -c 7- file > newfile

Regards

The only pattern I can use is the _first_ 8. The lines differ in the number of whitespaces, chars before the first 8 etc.

If I got it right, you want to cut off all digits until the first "8" shows up, including itself?:

Code:
sed -n 's/[^8]*8//p'

Now Ive a new problem. Cut off all chars until the first "$" shows up, inc itself.
I tested: sed -n 's/[^\$]*\$//p', but didnt work, what ive to do in this case?

thanks in advance
