Starting to read a file from row N ?

[aneuryzma]

How can I start reading a text file with java starting from row N ? And ignoring all previous rows ? This is my current code:

reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String row = null;
while ((row = reader.readLine()) != null) {
...

thanks

try to use count++ and count=rowstart just start read!
while (startrow) { break } - or if row(count)=startrow { break}
start read

Sorry, I didn't get it at all. Is there a way to cut an array and get only the first N elements without using a for loop '

You can use System.arraycopy to copy only a portion of an array, but what does this and for loops have to do with your original question?

Just loop through the file, Have a count variable. If count == n then start actually reading the strings. In the loop have a condition where if count is greater than n you do something with the read string.

OK, sorry I mixed another question :)

I know, that's why I wrote I made a mistake by replying to my other question on this thread.
