Here's mine, but I guess we were thinking different things...
Now I must apply it to a region
(defun keep-column (&optional arg)
"Considering space-separated columns, keep only column ARG."
(interactive "p")
(save-excursion
(let ((cnt-col 0))
(while (not (eolp))
(if (looking-at "[ \t\r\n]")
(progn
(incf cnt-col)
(delete-char 1)
(while (and (not (eolp)) (looking-at "[ \t\n\r]"))
(delete-char 1)))
(progn
(if (= cnt-col arg)
(forward-char)
(delete-char 1))))))))
