public class SpreadSheetRemoveColumn
extends AbstractSpreadSheetTransformer

Removes the column(s) at the specific position from spreadsheets coming through.

Input/output:
- accepts:
adams.data.spreadsheet.SpreadSheet
- generates:
adams.data.spreadsheet.SpreadSheet

Valid options are:

-D <int> (property: debugLevel)
    The greater the number the more additional info the scheme may output to 
    the console (0 = off).
    default: 0
    minimum: 0
 

-name <java.lang.String> (property: name)
    The name of the actor.
    default: SpreadSheetRemoveColumn
 

-annotation <adams.core.base.BaseText> (property: annotations)
    The annotations to attach to this actor.
    default: 
 

-skip (property: skip)
    If set to true, transformation is skipped and the input token is just forwarded 
    as it is.
 

-stop-flow-on-error (property: stopFlowOnError)
    If set to true, the flow gets stopped in case this actor encounters an error;
     useful for critical actors.
 

-position <adams.data.spreadsheet.SpreadSheetColumnRange> (property: position)
    The position of the columns to remove; A range is a comma-separated list 
    of single 1-based indices or sub-ranges of indices ('start-end'); 'inv(..
    .)' inverts the range '...'; the following placeholders can be used as well:
