title: What is a unix command for deleting the first N characters of a line?
body: <p>For example, I might want to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tail -f logfile | grep org.springframework | &lt;command to remove first N characters&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was thinking that <code>tr</code> might have the ability to do this but I'm not sure.</p>
