Is there a unix command that I can use to parse a column of text from a
file?
For example, a command that would allow me to parse the column titled
address
from a file with the following information and output it to another file?

Name		Address	Town
bob		123 A st.	Somewhere
steve		123 B st.	Somewhere
joe		123 C st.	Somewhere
gloria	123 D st.	Somewhere
