You need to actually read every line, but you can ignore the lines at a specific "index" by simply not printing them.

Really? How is it that so many people these days are getting into projects without knowing the first thing about C++? Here, this program will read and print every line in a file:

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    ifstream in("myfile.txt");

    if (in)
    {
        string line;

        while (getline(in, line))
        {
            cout << line << '\n';
        }
    }
}

I strongly recommend getting a book on C++ and reading it. Alternatively you can search Google for tutorials. This forum is best suited for helping with specific problems, not teaching you from scratch.
