i just have to access each line and check the values of r1 r2 r3 r4.

i am stuck please help me out.
thanx in advance.

Answer
Open the file.
Initialize a counter to 0.
Start reading the file (line by line) - on each read increment the counter by 1.
When the counter is less than 3, go back to read.
If it is equal to or greater than 3, display the contents and then go back to read.
