[RESOLVED] Read Line Number X

[Cyber-Drugs]

Ive got an array of numbers, and I need to go through it, and grab information from lines of a text file, that correspond to the numbers in this array...

EG:

Array(1,5,10,12)

I want to read in order:

Line 1
Line 5
Line 10
Line 12

Now I can do the loop bit, but I am unsure on how to go to Line X and read all the information from that line. Anyone able to help me out?

Cheers

I think there's no alternative but using StreamReader.ReadLine method?

Yes, but how do I get that to read line number X ?

Can you post an example for me please?

[Asgorath]

Public Function GotoLine(ByVal filename As String, ByVal line As Int32) As String
 
        Dim fs As New StreamReader(filename)
        Dim aLine As String = String.Empty
        Dim counter As Int32 = 0
        Try
            Do
 
                aLine = fs.ReadLine
                counter += 1
                If counter = line Then Exit Do
            Loop Until aLine Is Nothing
 
        Catch ex As Exception
            ''MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try
        fs.Close()
        Return aLine
    End Function

Sorted. Didn't think about using a loop, having a blonde day...
