Skip a constant number of records
Is each record 50 lines as mentioned in your second posting, or 1510 lines
as mentioned in this one. It will make a difference to the code that you will need in the macro. -- Hope this helps.

Thank you for your response I did not get a notification, hence my entry again. My data source is a text file. Each record is 1510 lines. The address is lines 110 to 115. When you say run a marco ( i am not familiar with macro) will it create another file with just the address info?

It would be far better to run a macro over the data source and extract the necessary information. What is the data source? If it were a Word document, you may be able to use the Convert Text to Table facility under the Table menu to convert the data to a 24 column table and the insert a row at the top of the table and insert field names into that row and then just insert the fields from the first five columns into a merge main document. There are other ways, but the best way will be dependent upon the data source. -- Hope this helps.

I have a data file that lists all the data one below the other. But each record is a constant number of lines. I need to pick up the address which is on 5 lines starting every 25th line. |
