I have a text file.
number 1_1 t number1_2 t etc
number 2_1 t number2_2 t etc
I want to remove the first column of this file (corresponding to number1_1, number2_1 etc, ie the numbers before the first tab for each row). I read this post that proposes a solution to delete the first column (see Peter's answer). However, it doesn't work for me as the numbers have different sizes and I cannot repeat the operation to delete the first column. How can I do then?

This should delete all chars before and including the 1st tab on any line:
:%s/^[^t]*t//
Command line cut:
cut -f 2- filename.txt > filenamenew.txt
cut defaults to tabs; if you want something else like a space add -d " ". -f is fields to copy over. 2- means all from (and including) column 2.

Through awk,
awk -F"t" 'print FS,$2' file > newfile
It cuts the first column and prints only the remaining tab and second column.
Through sed,
sed -r 's/^([^t]*)t(.*)$/t2/g' file > newfile

In Vi to remove first column (separated by space), you can do:
:%norm dW
for a column separated by Tab, it's:
:%norm dfCtrl+VTab
So the command which would remove the first column from file (in-place) can be:
ex +"%norm df$(echo -e 't')" -scwq file
To check the output before saving (dry-run), replace -scwq with -sc'%p|q!'.
Or based on Chris suggestion, like:
ex -c':exe ":%norm df<Tab>"' -sc'%p|q!' <(echo -e "a atb btc c")
Alternatively do it in visual mode (if starting from the top-left):
- Enter visual-block by Ctrl+v.
- Jump at the end and select first column by pressing: G, E (or adjust manually).
- Press d to delete the selected block.

:%s/[^t]*t//
On every line (%), replace (s/ORIGINAL/REPLACEMENT/) the first occurrence of “non-tab characters ([^t], in any number (*)) followed by a tab t” by nothing. You can type Tab instead of t.
Alternatively you can match the shortest sequence of characters (.-) ending in a tab. .*t would match the longest match for .*, so it would match all but the last column; .- matches the shortest match which is the first column.
