Need some help extracting records from flat file

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

Hello everyone.  I have a problem and am humbly requesting your help.

I have a flat txt file that contains about 120k records.  Each record resides on
it's own line in the flat file, and each record has a fixed length of 325.  I
need to extract every 8th record (starting from the 1st... so 1,9,17,etc) from
this file and place these records in another txt file.

Can anyone assist me with creating the loop to accomplish this?  I am certain
that this is easy but my brain is fried. I would be very grateful.

Thank you,

Chris
