I have a file called array.txt with many lines and each line is a record 
containing different fields separated by \t. What I like to do is read 
the file line by line, split each line into elements, and push the 
element [1] from each line into a new array.

# array.txt

A	B	C
1	2	3
X	Y	Z
...

expected output in new array
[B,2,Y,...]

Thanks,

Li
