I was wondering how to create a text box which only displays lines 2, 4, 
6, 8, ect. from a text file.

Could anyone help?

You will need to have some kind of counter, then you can test to see if the 
line is one you wish to print or not.

I'll add to this response, because I have something similar. What I'm doing though is making a
different background color on a table with every other record. Here's an abbreviated version of
what I did. Hope this helps.

Do While Not objPagingRS.EOF
    do something here with the first (i.e., odd numbered record)
    objPagingRS.MoveNext
    If Not objPagingRS.EOF Then
        do something here with the next (i.e., even numbered record)
    End If
    objPagingRS.MoveNext
Loop

Would that work for a text file? or just a DB?

(thx for the help)

Sorry, I have no idea. Perhaps a more experienced person could answer. I'm still fairly new to
all this.

The concept works in both environments, try something like the following 
for your textfile :

Dim theLine;
for count = 0 to noLines

         theLine=textFile.ReadLine

         // if on an even line
         if ((count mod 2)=0) then
                 Response.Write(theLine)
         end if
next

	       Dim MyFileObj
	       Set MyFileObj = Server.CreateObject
("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
 	       Set MyTextFile = MyFileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath
("guestbook.txt"))
 
 	       Dim strTextFile
 	       strTextFile = MyTextFile.ReadAll
	       Set MyFileObj = Nothing
	       Dim strFileArray
	       strFileArray = Split(strTextFile, vbCrLf)

	       Dim iLoop
	       For iLoop = 0 to UBound(strFileArray)
                  If iLoop MOD 2 = 1 Then 
                          Response.Write(strFileArray(iLoop) & Chr(10))
		       	End IF
	       Next
	       MyTextFile.Close

This is the finished script (for anyone that cares) a friend helped me 
with it! i dont suppose anyone here would know how to make it so, that it 
would write the contents of a texbox into a text file?

I'm still learning asp, but from what i can see i would have to do it a 
different way from above!

thx in advance :D
p.s thx for everyone that helped!

You can use the SkipLine() method of the TextStream object:
