Power get 3rd column of nth line

hi;
i have a file.txt and its 9th, 10th and 11th line lines are:
Code:
RbsLocalCell=S2C1                                       maxPortIP  4            (this is 9th line)
RbsLocalCell=S3C1                                       maxPortIP  4            (this is 10th line)
RbsLocalCell=S1C1                                       maxPortIP  4            (this is 11th line)
=============================================================================   (this is 12th line)
Total: 3 results                                                                (this is 13th line)

how can i get the 4 there? i have to say;
"get the 3rd column of 9th, 10th and 11th lines."

another problem is that; this text is produced in every 10min. and sometimes it becomes 3-lined (9,10,11), sometimes 2-lined (9,10) where sometimes 6-lined (9,10,11,12,13,14). so i have to put it in a loop saying;
"get the 3rd column of 9th, 10th, 11th, ..., 14th lines if it exists."

hope it is clear. thx. Smilie

NAME
fmt - simple text formatters SYNOPSIS
fmt [-cs] [-w width | -width] [inputfile]... DESCRIPTION
fmt is a simple text formatter that fills and joins lines to produce output lines of (up to) the number of characters specified in the -w width option. The default width is 72. fmt concatenates the inputfiles listed as arguments. If none are given, fmt formats text from the standard input. Blank lines are preserved in the output, as is the spacing between words. fmt does not fill nor split lines beginning with a `.' (dot), for compatibility with nroff(1). Nor does it fill or split a set of contiguous non-blank lines which is determined to be a mail header, the first line of which must begin with "From". Indentation is preserved in the output, and input lines with differing indentation are not joined (unless -c is used). fmt can also be used as an in-line text filter for vi(1). The vi command: !}fmt reformats the text between the cursor location and the end of the paragraph. OPTIONS
-c Crown margin mode. Preserve the indentation of the first two lines within a paragraph, and align the left margin of each subsequent line with that of the second line. This is useful for tagged paragraphs. -s Split lines only. Do not join short lines to form longer ones. This prevents sample lines of code, and other such for- matted text, from being unduly combined. -w width | -width Fill output lines to up to width columns. OPERANDS
inputfile Input file. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
See environ(5) for a description of the LC_CTYPE environment variable that affects the execution of fmt. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
nroff(1), vi(1), attributes(5), environ(5) NOTES
The -width option is acceptable for BSD compatibility, but it may go away in future releases. SunOS 5.11 9 May 1997 fmt(1)
