read a line in a text file without loading entire file

[mchael]

Is there a way with purebasic to read a specific line of a file without reading the whole file? Seek and read the part of the file with a specific line?

Of course. But it is slower.
Simply use ReadString() for n times.

Fast it is only possible if all lines have the same length.
Then you can use FileSeek() to jump the right location.

yes each line is same memory size so fileseek is useful.
