Using awk to print all columns from the nth to the last

awk, cygwin, linux, shell

Solution

Print all columns:

awk '{print $0}' somefile

Print all but the first column:

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

Print all but the first two columns:

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

Problem

This line worked until I had whitespace in the second field: ``` svn status | grep '\!' | gawk '{print $2;}' > removedProjs ``` Is there a way to have `awk` print everything in `$2` or greater? (`$3`, `$4`.. until we don't have any more columns?) I'm doing this in a Windows environment with Cygwin.
