Specific by line number? specific by text in the line? specific as
line-by-line? Please be more specific. :)
To read line $x of FILE into $line:
<FILE> foreach 2..$x;
$line = <FILE>
<FILE> reads in the next line of the file.
Hope this helps,

Subject: Reading lines from a file
How do I read a specific line from a text file?
I know how to open and close the file, and how to read the entire file,
is there a way (maybe by setting $.) to read a specific line of the
file?
