java: how to use bufferedreader to read specific line

Question

Lets say I have a text file called: data.txt (contains 2000 lines)

How do I read given specific line from: 500-1500 and then 1500-2000 and display the output of spec

Answer 1

The better way is to use BufferedReader. If you want to read line 32 for example:

for(int x = 0; x < 32; x++){
    buf.readLine();
}
lineThreeTwo = buf.readLine();

Now in String lineThreeTwo you have stored line 32.
