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

Answer 1

To print line# 3,

line_number = 3

with open(filename,"r") as file:
current_line = 1
for line in file:
    if current_line == line_number:
        print(file.readline())
        break
    current_line += 1
