Hi,
I have a text file. Now it is required to select every other line of that
text to generate a new text file. I have read through Python grammar, but
still lack the idea at the beginning of the task. Could you tell me some
methods to get this?
Initialize a counter variable to zero. (Or one, depending if you want to
select odd or even lines.)
Each time you read a line from the file, add one to the counter.
If the counter is odd, process the line; otherwise use the 'continue'
statement to start the loop over and read another line.
Why bother to initialise a counter when you can get the enumerate
function to do all the work for you?
