You’re writing a script that maybe works with a CSV that you’ve downloaded as a cron job and want to delete the first column so that it uploads nicely somewhere else, maybe to a MySQL database.
Delete the first column:
sed -i 's/[^,]*,//' thespreadsheet.csv
Delete the first two columns:
sed -i 's/[^,]*,//' thespreadsheet.csv
sed -i 's/[^,]*,//' thespreadsheet.csv
