Hello Everyone,

I am to make a small programme for a friend of mine
where i am to start reading from 14th (string) from a file and then
read every 5th row.

ie.

in 1st read it reads the 14 row in a File, write to an OUTPUT-1 file
Next reads 19th row, write to the OUTPUT-1 file
then 24th row,... so on.

and the second loop does is

reads the 15th line as the first line from same input file and write
to OUTPUT-2 file
next reads 20th line / row, write to the OUTPUT-2 file


I have tried various ways but some how i am ONLY able to do i simple
read from one file and write to another.

Please show us the attempts you have made.
There are 3024 rows / lines PER file

That is irrelevant.

  and there are 24 such file I need to run the programme on.

Several unknowns here. Do you process one file at a time? Where does the output from the other files go?
