Google is your friend so click me!

So above is a link to a simple google search, the phrase of which is:

read second line of text file c#

If you look at the results you will see that 5th link actually links directly a Code Project article.

I suggest you try reading some of those links.

C#

try
      {
          using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("d.txt"))
          {
              String line = sr.ReadToEnd();
              Console.WriteLine(line);
          }
      }
      catch (Exception e)
      {
          Console.WriteLine("The file could not be read:");
          Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
      }

There are a number of ways you could do this, but since this has a heavy smell of homework about it, I won't give you any code!

The first way is to use File.ReadAllLines[^] and then select the second line of the string array it returns, if there is one.

The other is to create a StreamReader, then read each line sequentially in a loop using StreamReader.ReadLine.aspx[^] until you get to the line number you want.

The first is quick, both to code and to execute, but uses a huge amount of memory for large files. The second is slower to code and to execute, but uses a small fraction of the memory space. Your choice!
