在这里给出的所有其他答案以及在相关问题中给出的各种可能的FS值都以各种方式失败。有些在开头和/或结尾留下空白，有些将每个FS转换为OFS，有些依赖于仅当FS为默认值时才适用的语义，有些依赖于在括号表达式中否定FS，这将在给定多字符FS时失败，等等。

为了对任何FS都健壮地做到这一点，使用GNU awk的第4个参数split():

$ cat tst.awk
{
    split($0,flds,FS,seps)
    for ( i=n; i<=NF; i++ ) {
        printf "%s%s", flds[i], seps[i]
    }
    print ""
}

$ printf 'a b c d\n' | awk -v n=3 -f tst.awk c d $ printf ' a b c d\n' | awk -v n=3 -f tst.awk c d $ printf ' a b c d\n' | awk -v n=3 -F'[ ]' -f tst.awk b c d $ printf ' a b c d\n' | awk -v n=3 -F'[ ]+' -f tst.awk b c d $ printf 'a###b###c###d\n' | awk -v n=3 -F'###' -f tst.awk c###d $ printf '###a###b###c###d\n' | awk -v n=3 -F'###' -f tst.awk b###c###d Note that I'm using split() above because it's 3rg arg is a field separator, not just a regexp like the 2nd arg to match(). The difference is that field separators have additional semantics to regexps such as skipping leading and/or trailing blanks when the separator is a single blank char - if you wanted to use a while(match()) loop or any form of *sub() to emulate the above then you'd need to write code to implement those semantics whereas split() already implements them for you.

打印所有列:

awk '{print $0}' somefile

打印除第一列以外的所有内容:

awk '{$1=""; print $0}' somefile

打印除前两列以外的所有内容:

awk '{$1=$2=""; print $0}' somefile

以下是我在所有推荐中更喜欢的:

从第六列到最后一列打印。

ls -lthr | awk '{out=$6; for(i=7;i<=NF;i++){out=out" "$i}; print out}'

or

ls -lthr | awk '{ORS=" "; for(i=6;i<=NF;i++) print $i;print "\n"}'

我想把建议的答案扩展到字段可能由几个空格分隔的情况——我想这就是OP不使用cut的原因。

我知道OP问了关于awk的问题，但sed方法在这里可以工作(例如从第5列打印到最后一列):

pure sed approach sed -r 's/^\s*(\S+\s+){4}//' somefile Explanation: s/// is the standard command to perform substitution ^\s* matches any consecutive whitespace at the beginning of the line \S+\s+ means a column of data (non-whitespace chars followed by whitespace chars) (){4} means the pattern is repeated 4 times. sed and cut sed -r 's/^\s+//; s/\s+/\t/g' somefile | cut -f5- by just replacing consecutive whitespaces by a single tab; tr and cut: tr can also be used to squeeze consecutive characters with the -s option. tr -s [:blank:] <somefile | cut -d' ' -f5-

这应该是一个相当全面的awk-field子字符串提取函数

根据输入范围返回$0的子字符串，包括 夹入超出范围的值， 处理可变长度字段SEPs 加速治疗::

完全没有输入，直接返回$0 输入值导致有保证的空字符串("") FROM-field == 1 FS = ""，将$0按单个字符分割 (因此FROM <(_)>和TO <(__)>字段的行为像cut -c而不是cut -f)

原始$0恢复，w/o覆盖FS seps与OFS

Awk示例在这里看起来很复杂，这里是简单的Bash shell语法:

command | while read -a cols; do echo ${cols[@]:1}; done

1是第n列，从0开始计数。

例子

给定文件(in.txt)的内容:

c1
c1 c2
c1 c2 c3
c1 c2 c3 c4
c1 c2 c3 c4 c5

输出如下:

$ while read -a cols; do echo ${cols[@]:1}; done < in.txt 

c2
c2 c3
c2 c3 c4
c2 c3 c4 c5
