I am using the new App Engine file api to read in a file from the blobstore and parse things out from specific lines. Can someone tell me how I could jump to a specific line in the file without having to iterate over every line until I find the line number I need?
Here is how I am currently doing it: AppEngineFile file = null; FileService fs = FileServiceFactory.getFileService(); file = fs.getBlobFile(new BlobKey(blobKeyString)); FileReadChannel readChannel = fs.openReadChannel(file, false); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(Channels.newReader(readChannel, "UTF8")); String line = null; int linePosition = lineNumber; while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){ if ((linePosition >= lineNumber) && (linePosition < lineNumber + LINECOUNT)) { //do stuff with line here } else if(linePosition == lineNumber + LINECOUNT) break; linePosition++; } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine for Java" group.
