Cropping a large file of data-CodePudding

I have a massive file of data that is to big to process in any way. The file is structured like below. To be able to process the data i would like to crop out steps of data so i only have every 50 step in the file. It would then end up with data from Direct configuration= 1, Direct configuration= 50 and so on. Does anyone have any idea where to start to achieve this?

CodePudding user response：

When you read the file you can make diffrent statements and change the destination if the mod of row is 0. like:

count = 0
with open(file,''r) as file:
  for row in file:
    count  =1
    if count % 50 = 0
      --change destination--
