A Newbie Question, Please?

Hi all,
I know this is a VERY basic question, but I'm learning...

I have a file I need to read with the following structure:

Line 1: URL
Line 2: Time and Date
Line 3: News Item
Line 4: Item Source
Line 5: URL
Line 6: Time and Date
Line 7: News Item
Line 8: Item Source
....
....

How do I parse it, since this is not a "regular" record-per-line file, but
rather a four-line each record?
BTW - I still will have to clean the items in each field on each line, but I
guess I'll manage to do it, if I get a hint/code/some help to get started.

TIA!
