If I undestood you right, then you can try something like that:
$i = 0, $total = 0; while ($line = <FILE>) { chomp $line; if ($line =~ /"([\d\/]+)\s([\d:.]+)"\s+"([\d.]+)"/) { total += $3; $i++; } } $avarage = $total/$i;
This will give you only the avarage of the number in the right column, but you can easily do that for the time and date (write a timeAvarage function), I'll leave that for you.

Thanks.
