Hello,
Please help me to remove alternate lines from a text file.

I want to delete the line 1, 3, 5 and so on. What are the commands to be
used. Thanks for help in advance.
Regards,
Auro Ashish Saha.
Method I:
q"ddjjq
<count>@"
where <count> is equal to the number of lines still to be deleted
Method II (all on one line if typed on the Vim command-line):
:let i=1 | while i <= line('$') | if (i % 2) | exe i . "delete" | endif |
endwhile
Best regards,
Tony.
