Hello, @gonen-shoham,
I understood that you’re interested on lines containing the string BBBBB only, and, also, that you would like to delete lines with a specific string. But, as English is not my native language, I’m still wondering about the expression
leave every 5th line of them!May be, you could show us from your initial text, or other text, what is the exact text that you expect to ?
Best Regards,

in addition to what Guy already mentioned, it would be good to know what kind of
scripting language you are thinking of.Cheers
