Splunk Search

Is there a shortcut to piping the table command where splunk-created fields are automatically excluded?

Given that my search criteria is this: index=some_index sourcetype=some_sourcetype, is there a shortcut to piping the | table * command where splunk-created fields are automatically excluded? (Basically wanted to do this: | fields - _raw, _time, eventtype, host, index, sourcetype, source, linecount, splunk_server, splunk_server_group, timestamp, punct in the shortest possible way.
