Dear Friends,
I would like a help. I would like to select every nth column (for example every 3rd column) out of many column. Or if possible I would like to delete the every "group of columns". Means if I have many columns, I want to select 1st column and delete 2nd 3rd 4th column, then select 5th column, then again delete 6th 7th and 8th column then select 9th column and so on.
Help in terms of short script is very valuable.
Thanks in advance.

1. This will select columns 1, 4, 7, etc.
wo -s -1 0 -1 0; // deselect all columns
for(i=1;i<=wks.ncols;i+=3) wks.colsel(i);
2. This will delete columns 2-4, 6-8, etc.
wo -d; // duplicate worksheet
for(i=1;i<=wks.ncols;i++) {
if( mod(i-1,4) ) wks.colsel(i);
};
menu -e 36442; // delete selected columns (execute Edit > Delete)
wo -s 0 0 0 0; // select all columns
