I have a file created with person names and a bunch of other things like phone numbers and adressesaddresses. I was wondering how could I select just the names of all the persons on that list.

Please note that there'sthere are no columns in that list and 1one person can have more than one name (I mean not only first and last name but middle names as well). Every line is formatted like this:

student number,,,Name_of_stundentName_of_student,,,adressaddress

for example:

a684932,,,John Liam Anderson,,,Kentucky
a683910,,,Mary Reynold,,,Michigan
...
...

The output should be:

John Liam Anderson 
Mary Reynold
