btw:
Perhaps one of you has an idea (according to the given awk-suggestions, I guess not...;) ):
I was just wondering, whether awk provides a kind of "shift-operator" for the postional params/matches....

unfortunately no, at least I don't know of any
sometimes your simply can set a positional parameter "empty, like $3=""; but that is gawk/nawk only
otherwise you have to loop
for(i=start;i<=NF;i++){$(i-1)=$i;}
