awk / cut: Skip First Two Fields and Print the Rest of Line

To skip the first two fields and print the rest of the line using awk, you can use the following syntax:

refer t‮:o‬lautturi.com
awk '{$1=$2=""; print $0}' input_file

This will set the values of the first and second fields to an empty string, effectively deleting them. The print $0 statement will then print the modified line with the first two fields removed.

Alternatively, you can use the cut command to achieve the same result:

cut -d' ' -f3- input_file

This will use the space character as the delimiter and print all fields starting from the third field (-f3-).

Both of these commands assume that the fields in the input file are delimited by spaces. If the fields are delimited by a different character, you will need to use the appropriate delimiter in the awk or cut command.
