Which lines are the "particular lines"? How can the program determine which lines to print?
Is it the position of the line (say the third line)
or does the line contain a String that you can detect by using some of the String class's methods?

yea it is the position of line

To get to the nth line, read n-1 lines and ignore them. Then next line you read will be the one you want.
