Dear all,
I just realized that I forgotten to write some kind of final email for
this thread and to thank you for your help.
It seems that the recommeneded procedure in such circumstances has three
steps:
1) readLines()
2) select the desired lines
3) strsplit()
Thanks Ferdinand, Jim, and Paul!
I typically wouldn't use strsplit but would reread it using read.table
and textConnection as in:

Dear all,
I have an ASCII file where records are separated by a blank. I would like to
read those data; however, only the data in rows 1, 3, 5, 7, ... are
important; the other lines (2,4,6,8,) contain no useful information for
me.
So far I used awk/gawk to do it:
gawk '{if ((FNR % 2) != 0)
Hi,
You can start by reading all lines from your file:
lines - readLines(pathtoyourfile)
then keep only odd lines:
oddlines - lines[seq (1, length(lines),2)]
You have to split the line into fields, e.g
res - strsplit(oddlines, split = \t)
if you have tab as field seperator

Use readLines and then just use the odd numbered lines:
x.in - readLines(yourFile)
x.in - x.in[seq(1, length(x.in), 2)] # every 2nd line
or just to make sure, only delete blank lines:
x.in - x.in[!(x.in == )]
