In other words, "how do I do something on the third field for each input line in Perl"?

Code:
perl -lane 'print "This is the third field: ", $F[2]' inputfile

Note eras code is essentially the same I posted for you on the other forum, then you changed the requirements, and then you abandoned that thread and restarted it here.

Sounds more like the OP should pre-sort the data to get it in the correct order so jumping around, random access style, is not required. IMO.
