Help required on printing the line if third field is not a empty space

Hi Experts,

I want to print the lines whose third field in non-empty/blank space.

i.e.
INPUT FILE[/B]

dcdccghjrry0yd cont
dcdccttrk820529 cont rdekedfsSCr
dcdccttrdky2d0y cont rdekedfsSC2
dcdccghtd228e9y cont 2ekert5fr
dcdccght0er9r0d incont
dcdccght5dk9rre cont
dcdccttrdky200k incont rdekedfsSC2


[/U]OUTPUT FILE[/B]

dcdccttrk820529 cont rdekedfsSCr
dcdccttrdky2d0y cont rdekedfsSC2
dcdccghtd228e9y cont 2ekert5fr
dcdccttrdky200k incont rdekedfsSC2



I used below command, but it is printing some lines whose third field is empty/blank space i.e its not totally removing the lines whose third field is empty/blank.

awk '$3~/^[a-zA-Z0-9]/' inputfile > outputfile

Description
       These  subroutines generate graphic output in a device-independent manner.  See for a description of their effect.  The subroutine precedes
       the other subroutines as it opens the device for writing.  The subroutine flushes the output. The and routines are used by  the	lvp16  and
       hp7475a plotters only.

       String arguments to and are null-terminated and do not contain newlines.

       Many of these functions have additional options for different output devices.  They are accessed by the options as follows:

       -lplot	     device-independent graphics stream on standard output for filters

       -lplotaed     AED 512 color graphics terminal

       -lplotbg      BBN bitgraph graphics terminal

       -lplotdumb    dumb terminals without cursor addressing or line printers
