I think you mean from a character position to the end of the line for all
lines?
I'd probably use sed or awk, whichever you know better, or cut, I suppose,
but I use cut so rarely I have to look up the syntax.

Others have made good suggestions. If I need to make such vertical-editing,
I would display the text in Windows console with a wide window size (I
actually use the console version of sqlplus so in this case, it's already in
the console). Then I vertically select the text I need.
Some editors support vertical editing, MS Word, UltraEdit, gVim, even MS
Outlook. In these editors, you can select and delete the part you don't
need.
But for a very big file, using some command is preferred.
