__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 writ- ten. Column numbering starts with one, not zero.


Tab characters increment the column count to the next multi-
ple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column
count by one.
