I am trying to create a script that takes an entire file, drops the first 19 characters from each line and creates a new file.
I am missing something easy but I am not seeing it.

I tried the script below but did not work.
rm output.txt cat test.txt | \ while read LINE do newline=`echo $LINE | cut -f 19-` echo $newline >> output.txt done test.txt is below 10-Oct-08 08:14 am 10
why not simply
cut -b10- foo > bar
