How to extract a specific line from a text file?

Hi Friend,

Try the following code:

import java.io.*;

public class ReadSpecificLine{

public static void main(String[] args){
String line = "";
int lineNo;
try {
FileReader fr = new FileReader("C:\\Employee.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
for(lineNo=1;lineNo<10;lineNo++){
if(lineNo==5){
line = br.readLine();
}
else br.readLine();
}
}
catch (IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Line: " + line);
}
}

Hope that it will be helpful for you.
Thanks
