I always find myself needing a tool to interactively let me select which columns of an output to print. Basically I'm interactively writing something like 'awk {print $5, $10}' or whatever but I'm not sure which columns I need. Anyone know anything like that? Ideally after running it'd somehow output which columns they were to use later.
