java如何删除文件的前几行数据（不使用临时文件）

    private List<String> readAndRemoveFirstLines(File file, int lineNum) throws IOException{ 
        List<String> strList = new ArrayList<String>();
        RandomAccessFile raf = null;
        try{

            long writePosition = raf.getFilePointer();
            for (int i = 0 ; i < lineNum ; i++){
                String line = raf.readLine();
                if(line == null){
                    break;
                }
                strList.add(line);
