NAME
colrm - remove columns from a file
SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]]
DESCRIPTION
colrm removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is
defined as a single character in a line. Input is read from the standard
input. Output is written to the standard output.
If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the
start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are
specified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than
the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not
zero.
Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight.
Backspace characters decrement the column count by one.
