I'm not an expert with Linux but what exactly are you trying to do?

Example textfile.txt
Input:
1AAA
2BBB
3CCC

Output:
AAA
BBB
CCC

you would have to press the x key after you type your file hit esc the hit the x and it will delete the first character you would have to move the cursor where the letter is though or otherwise it will delete the whole word.
