Don't tell me to use FileSeek without explaining how it works because I don't understand SM's explanation.

So far this is working, but I can see already how terrible it is...

		new CurLine = 1;
		while(!IsEndOfFile(fileHandle) && ReadFileLine(fileHandle, lineBuffer, sizeof(lineBuffer)) && Lines < MaxLines)
		{
			if(CurLine >= Lines)
			{
				PrintToConsole(client, "[%i] %s", Lines, lineBuffer);
				Lines++;
			}
			CurLine++;
		}

You're not going to do better than repeatedly calling ReadFileLine unless you know how many bytes each line is ahead of time.

So my method is the best?

For an arbitrary text file, it is the only way.
