These are your tab - delimited data (5 columns):

In[1]:=
data = ReadList["tabdata.txt", Number, RecordLists -> True]
Out[1]=
{{1.3, 2.6, 0.3, 9.27, 8}, {4, 5.2, -4, 0.45, 22}, 
  {4, 6.4, -12, 0.13, 1}}

These are the columns you want to work with (say,1 and 4):

In[2]:=
cols = {1, 4}; 

This is the result:

In[3]:=
Transpose[(Transpose[data][[#1]] & ) /@ cols]
Out[3]=
{{1.3, 9.27}, {4, 0.45}, {4, 0.13}}
