Reading a specific line from a text file in Java

Question

Is there any method to read a specific line from a text file ? In the API or Apache Commons. Something like :

String readLine(File file, int lineNumber)
         


        

Answer 1

Using File Utils:

File fileFeatures = new File(
                "Homework1AdditionalFiles/jEdit4.3/jEdit4.3ListOfFeatureIDs.txt");
String line = (String) FileUtils.readLines(fileFeatures).get(lineNumber);
