My first post, hello all !

i can open-read-write but
using 8086 code how can i read a specific line only from a text file.
for example i wanna read only line 6 and place the whole line in a buffer.
some tips please.

Sorry for bad English.

From an old file of mine:

mov ah,3F ;<read
mov al,00 ;<bl has file handle
mov cx,00FF ;<btyes to read to buffer, value is up to you
int 21

;Then you have to look through the buffer for line breaks

cmp w[si],0A0D ;look for line break in buffer
ifz-call L3

So if you loop the line break you can find line 6.

There is also int21 ah42

...if you can be bothered figuring it out

thanks for the answer eek.
I have to look for line breaks, i got it
