Default truncate text from the left

I have a very long text with a part on the unuseful part on the left I want
to get rid of. The part on the left has the same length.

For instance:

00 The weather was
01 really nice
02 this summer

And I would like to get

The weather was
really nice
this summer

without having to manually erase 00, 01, 02, etc. Is there a solution ?

Thanks.

If you press down the Alt-key you can use the mouse cursor to select
the text to the left for all the lines.
