Reading specific lines only

Question

I\'m using a for loop to read a file, but I only want to read specific lines, say line #26 and #30. Is there any built-in feature to achieve this?

Thanks

You can do this very simply with this syntax that someone already mentioned, but it's by far the easiest way to do it:

inputFile = open("lineNumbers.txt", "r")
lines = inputFile.readlines()
print (lines[0])
print (lines[2])
