I got a question for a script I'm working on.

I'm doing a FileReadLine in my script, but I don't want to read every line.
Can I:
A) increment the loop count by say 5, so I could just read lines 5, 10, 15, etc.?
or
B) mathematically change A_INDEX's value and assign it the next increment ?

Code:
line := 0
loop
{   
   line +=5   
   FileReadLine, OutputVar, Filename, %line%
   if ErrorLevel
        break
   msgbox %OutputVar%
}

   IfMsgBox, No
      return

}
MsgBox, The end of the file has been reached or there was a problem.
return

Possibly of interest:
http://www.autohotkey.net/~hugov/tf-lib ... _ReadLines can return the specified lines, can be used to read sections of a file or variable, also using incremental values e.g. every 5th line.

Thanks to all that replied

Odlanir... your solution seems to me to work the best. Thanks

I should have figured this out, but hand AHK'd in awhile and so my mind just is kinda numb :)
