Unix cut, remove first token

I'm trying to use Unix cut to remove the first two fields per line. I have input lines of of the form开发者_如何学运维

(token)(whitespace)(token)(lots of text)

The problem is that there exit n tokens per line, so I can't do something like this

cut -f3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Is there a way to tell cut to take everything except the specified fields?

cut -d' ' -f3-

-d' ' might be required.

cut -f3-

[Body is too short? Is that new?]

I tried the answer cut -d' '-f3- but it did not exclude the field. The below command worked though. I am using Linux SLES.

cut -d' ' -f3 --complement

Happy to be corrected and learn. Thank you.

You can also use AWK for this:

   awk '{$1=$2=""}1' file
