Hi,

Thanks,

Read in your lines, keeping a counter as you go. "Select" those lines whose counter is even (or odd -- you didn't say which you wanted).

So now some questions for you:

 * Do you know how to open a file and read in all the lines?
 * Do you know how to count as you do so?
 * Do you know how to test for evenness?   (Use count%2 will be zero
   for even count values.)
 * Do you know how to write lines to an output file?
