Re: Best way to read line x from a fileby ambrus (Abbot) |

As others have said, this is wasteful because it reads the whole file while it should read only the first 9 lines. If you want a solution that has no visible loop (or map etc), you could try using the module Tie::File. This module is in the standard Perl distrib. (Note that Tie::File numbers the lines with zero-offset.) Otherwise, for me seems the best solution but there might be a more elegant one.
