I'm trying to remove the first two columns (of which I'm not interested in) from a DbgView log file. I can't seem to find an example that prints from column 3 onwards until the end of the line. Note that each line has variable number of columns.

awk '{a=match($0, $3); print substr($0,a)}'

First you find the position of the start of the third column. With substr you will print the whole line ($0) starting at the position(in this case a) to the end of the line.
