read text file

[brian yuen]

 
   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("Account.txt")));
String line = "";
while((line = br.readLine()) != null)

the above code can read a text file form the beginning, but what if i wanna read from the second line or third line of the text file unitl the end, what should i change...

you could add a for-loop before the while-loop that reads (and ignores) the first x lines you want to ignore.

for loop?what should inside the for lopp

String line = "";
for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
br.readline();
while((line = br.readLine()) != null)
This should work.
