java 读取文件第n行,Java阅读第n行

I am trying to read a specific line from a text file, however I don't want to load the file into memory (it can get really big).

I have been looking but every example i have found requires either to read every line (this would slow my code down as there are over 100,000 lines) or load the whole thing into an array and get the correct element (file will have alot of lines to input).

An example of what I want to do:

String line = File.getLine(5);

"code is not actual code, it is made up to show the principle of what i want"

Is there a way to do this?

-----Edit-----

I have just realized this file will be written too in between reading lines (adding to the end of the file).

Not unless the lines are of a fixed number of bytes each, no.

You don't have to actually keep each line in memory - but you've got to read through the whole file to get to the line you want, as otherwise you won't know where to start reading.
