If you mean by "field 15" the fifteenth element in your array, try:
> while($line=<iscd>){

> @fields=split "\t",$line;
if ($fields[14] =~ /M/) {

> $fields[0],$fields[5],
>
> $fields[70],$fields[71],$fields[73],$fields[74],$fields[75],
> $fields[76],$fields[77];
}

You'll want to read up on regexp matching to make this condition more
restrictive and to find out how to match your other conditions.
