How do I parse file with multiple different columns ?

I have a tool which generates results in a file at every minute and which has following columns.
I need to create a script checks this file constantly and if Column ( QOM ) has value more then "30S" it should send an email.
Can anybody help ?
Thansk a lot.


Code:
Time MxML MxQD G P OIC OUC MDC MEC UNC CQD PQF TQF TQE QOM OQTS OQTL
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15:12:34 20480000 200000 E E 0 0 1842853 1837403 0 0 0.00% 0.06s 0.01s

At any time some fields may be empty. In above example, TQF TQE QOM were blank.
In following example I have added some more parameters.

Column width is changing based on data.

In following line I want to track value "14s" , if that column is higher then
"30S" i need to send an email.

Code:
16:22:36 20480000 200000 E E 7 0 24 24 1 0 0.00% inf inf 14s 1.04s 0.25s

One more point, I always have last 3 columns ends with "s"
I need the value of third column from last.

NAME
colrm -- remove columns from a file SYNOPSIS
colrm [start [stop]] DESCRIPTION
The colrm utility removes selected columns from the lines of a file. A column is defined as a single character in a line. Input is read from the standard input. Output is written to the standard output. If only the start column is specified, columns numbered less than the start column will be written. If both start and stop columns are spec- ified, columns numbered less than the start column or greater than the stop column will be written. Column numbering starts with one, not zero. Tab characters increment the column count to the next multiple of eight. Backspace characters decrement the column count by one. ENVIRONMENT
The LANG, LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE environment variables affect the execution of colrm as described in environ(7). EXIT STATUS
The colrm utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. SEE ALSO
