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. -- John Gordon Imagine what it must be like for a real medical doctor to gordon@panix.com watch 'House', or a real serial killer to watch 'Dexter'.
