cut -c 27- file
u can use the command suggested by bartus11
cut -c 27- file
-c option is used to cut columns. give the starting column number from where you want to cut. you can specify a range using an hyphen(-).
for cutting a single column say only 27 use
cut -c 27 file
for cutting columns 27 to 31 use
cut -c 27-31 file
for cutting 27th and 29th column use
cut -c 27,29 file
for cutting columns from 27 till the last column an you dont know the column number then use
cut -c 27- file
if ypu dont specify the end column, it will cut till the line ends
if you want to cut from 1st column to 27th use
cut -c -27
If this need is in sh-script then builtin substring is also usable.
Example:
while read line
do
#substr index start 0
endline=${line:26}
done < inputfile
