Given a file looking like this:

12345678-1-2345678-2-2345678-3
blah blah blah stuff     more
45345454 blah blah more stuff
44 55 66 gg tt hh rr fgjgfkjk

last line big deal...the end


What if I wanted to remove everything between
column 10 and column 20 on ALL lines.  Can it
be done in vi?

Thanks,  --Bi((
