    You can use ReadLn() to read a line from a text file. The first ReadLn() reads the first line, second ReadLn() the second, etc.
    Alternatively you can create a TStringList object and call its LoadFromFile(). This will store the entire fill into the object. Then you can use the Strings[] property to get the line you want.

    Thank you will try it
  • didn't understand how to use TStringList, so i wrote little code:
    AsignFile...
    ...
    repeat
    var2:= var2+1;
    readln(file, var);
    until var1 = var2;
    ...
    that's how it was solved! =)

    Here is a slightly better code, which also checks if the file is not empty:
    [code]
    while not eof(file) do
    begin
    var2 := var2+1
    readln(file, var);
    if var1 = var2 then Break;
    end;
    [/code]
    When using the TStringList variation:
    [code]
    var
    FileContents: TStringList;
    begin
    FileContents := TStringList.Create;
    FileContents.LoadFromFile('filename.txt');
    // Use Filecontents
    Line := FileContents[var2];
    // until you don't need them
    FileContents.Free;
    end;
    [/code]
  • zibadian Thanks once again!
