[Nottingham] Howto delete chars from midway into lines of text?

Making a brew has come up with a nice solution using "cut" on the source
csv file. Conveniently, all the fields are fixed width so I can just
knock out the irksome two bytes on each line.

But what if the fields /had been/ variable width?...
