Hi all,
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
