I've an EXIF text file from which I need to keep some lines (like 1,
6, 7, 11, 17) Each time the same lines. How can this be done in
Applescript? How to start?

First; learn patience. One day on the list isn't that long for a post
to go unanswered.
Next post more information. What are the line endings? What do you want
to do with the lines you keep?
It could look something like this...
set output to {}
set f to (choose file) as text
set d to read file f as text
set l to paragraphs of d
repeat with i from 1 to length of l
if i is in {1, 6, 7, 11, 17} then
set output to output & item i of l
end if
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to return
return output as text
...But it's hard to say with only the info you posted.
