extracting substring by lines
<p>I am fairly new to programming so please bear with me. Say I have a large string such as this.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>String story = "This is the first line.\n" <br>
               + "This is the second line.\n" <br>
               + "This is the third line\n" <br>
               + "This is the fourth line.\n" <br>
               + "This is the fifth line."; <br></p>
</blockquote>

<p>How would I go about extracting the first, fourth, and so on lines?</p>
