Please use code tags as required by forum rules!

You certainly searched in these forums for a proposal, as also required by forum rules? There are plenty of suggestions for your problem. For the time being, try:
Code:
$ awk '{$1=$2=""; $0=$0; $1=$1}1' OFS="\n" file
39992
0.098
5.195
0.034
0.001
1.091
182
0.000
0
0.071
4.252
0.033
0.001
666.53

That post doesn't help. Show us what you did and what failed, so we can hint you to a working script. Use code tags!

I agree with RudiC that we are just guessing at what the problem is; but given the context, I would assume that Anamica is trying to use the command line:
Code:
cut -d " " -f 3- file | tr " " "\n" > file

and hasn't figured out that the redirection at the end of the line (> file) wipes out the contents of file before cut opens it. If this guess is correct, the fix is to change this pipeline to something like:
Code:
cut -d " " -f 3- file | tr " " "\n" > tmp$$
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then    mv tmp$$ file
else    rm tmp$$
fi
