How to print a certain line of a file with PowerShell?

Question

I don\'t have a decent text editor on this server, but I need to see what\'s causing an error on line 10 of a certain file. I do have PowerShell though...

Answer 1

It's as easy as using select:

Get-Content file.txt | Select -Index (line - 1)

E.g. to get line 5

Get-Content file.txt | Select -Index 4

Or you can use:

(Get-Content file.txt)[4]
