Reading columns in tab delimited file

I want to read only one column in "|" delimited file and write that column to a new file.

For Ex:
Input File

1|abc|324|tt
2|efd|11|cbcb
3||1|fg
4|ert|23|88

Output : I want to read column 3 in diff file.
324
11
1
88

Can anyone give me inputs on this ?

awk -F "|" '{print $3}' filename

Thanks !! Its working as expected
