Others have given vim solutions; the Emacs one is C-x r {blah}; do a C-x r C-h
for info, or look at the `rectangles' section of the manual.

(Plus, there are some elisp packages out there that parse fields into
columns for you and give you kill-column and suchlike; I've never used
them, so I can't say how good they are.)
