Finding poistion (Line Number) of text in a given File.

[Sneha Teck]

Hi,

I have to find the Line Number of a 'text' from within a given file.

The file name and the 'text' is available.

Appreciate any help in achieving this .


Thanks.

Here are some pointers:

Example: Read a text file line by line

You might want to use class java.io.LineNumberReader (lookup the API documentation)

There are methods in class String to find out if a string contains a certain text (lookup the API documentation)

Minakshi, welcome to JavaRanch.

I deleted your solution, because on JavaRanch we have a policy that we want to encourage people to learn - giving people complete solutions to their programming assignments does not help people learn. So, thank you for your contribution, but please don't post complete solutions. (And a tip: UseCodeTags when you post source code).
