I don't yet understand why you are reading the numbers into an array?

Anyway, assuming you use [textfile] to read in the file, you can
extract the middle number of each row using a message box with [$2( in
it. 

An alternative approach is to load your external data into data
structures. That's a bit more advanced, but very flexible.
