C# How to skip number of lines while reading text file using Stream Reader?

Question

I have a program which reads a text file and processes it to be seperated into sections.

So the question is how can the program be changed to allow the program to sk

Answer 1

If the lines are fixed then the most efficient way is as follows:

using( Stream stream = File.Open(fileName, FileMode.Open) )
{
    stream.Seek(bytesPerLine * (myLine - 1), SeekOrigin.Begin);
    using( StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream) )
    {
        string line = reader.ReadLine();
    }
}

And if the lines vary in length then you'll have to just read them in a line at a time as follows:

using (var sr = new StreamReader("file"))
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; ++i)
        sr.ReadLine();
}
