If you use emacs it is quite easy. You can use the commands 
       kill-rectangle        and
       yank-rectangle
You have to type  Meta-x followed by the commands. The rectangle is defined by 
its upper left corner (marked by ctrl-space) and the lower right corner 
(marked by the cursor)

Hope this is helpful.
