Robert:
Using your definitions for list, start, and step:
Take[list,{start,Length[list],step}]
That should do it.

hi!
probably a very easy question, but i couldn't find an answer in the
mathematica-book:
i need to extract elements from a list, starting th element number x and
than taking every yth element, eg:
with
list={a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j}
start=3;
step=2:
i'd like to get the list
{c,e,g,i}.
how can i do this in the easiest way?
regards, robert
