I would probably do something like: sed -e "s@^[0-9]*[ ]*@@" input.file > output.file This not only removes the line numbers, but the spaces after them as well. If what shows up as spaces in the posting are really tabs, a small change is required: sed -e "s@^[0-9]*\t@@" input.file > output.file This also has the advantage of only removing the first tab, and leaving all the other formatting the same. The first version will remove all the spaces after the number until it hits a non-space character. That would probably mess up any indentation in the script.
