Sorry, you need to use JAVA for this!

Edit: Yes, I have no idea what "every alternate index" might be ...  :D
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  2. var
  3.  sl: TStringlist;
  4.  i : Integer;
  5. begin
  6.   sl:= TStringlist.Create;
  7.    Try
  8.     sl.LoadFromFile(Application.Location+'MyFile.txt');
  9.      For i:= sl.Count-1 Downto 0
  10.      Do sl[i]:= sl[i]+'5';
  11.     sl.SaveToFile(Application.Location+'MyFile.txt');
  12.    Finally
  13.     sl.Free;
  14.    End;
  15. end;

He stated alternate index, that to me means every other index.

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  2.  
  3. var
  4. sl: TStringlist;
  5. i : Integer;
  6. begin
  7. sl:= TStringlist.Create;
  8. Try
  9.  sl.LoadFromFile(Application.Location+'MyFile.txt');
  10. For i:= sl.Count-1 Downto 0
  11. Do  If  I and 1 <> 0 Then Sl[I] := IntTostr(StrToInt(Sl[I])+5);  
  12. sl.SaveToFile(Application.Location+'MyFile.txt');
  13.  Finally
  14.  sl.Free;
  15.  End;
  16. end;
  17.

Thanku jamie and raw, this much works :)

Jamie i used your code

I want to add little more complex thing to the code

What should i edit if i want that the addition takes place, only when a certain value is increased.

For example: 5 is only added when value of x(kind of index) increases to 2 from 1 till s1.count, and it should add to values only  to index which are after value of x

You will need to use some check points before you follow through with code.
Example:

 if StrToInt(si) < X Then { continue on }

Well I guess it's "S1"

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1.  
  2. If StrToint( S1[I] ) > SomeValue thenn….
  3.  
  4.
