  4. Click Extract to see the filtered lines on the right.
  5. Copy the result with the Copy button.

Use cases

  • Sample every 10th row from a large CSV export for quick inspection.
  • Extract every other line from a doubled-spaced transcript.
  • Pick lines at a fixed interval from log files for statistical sampling.
  • Reduce a word list to a manageable subset by stepping through it.
  • Split interleaved text blocks — e.g. extract only odd or even lines.
  • Test pagination logic by sampling line ranges from data dumps.
