• Answer:

  How about this public static void copyAndRemoveLine(Reader _in, Writer _out, int line) { try { BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(_in); PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(_out); String s = in.readLine(); for(int i=1; s!=null; s=in.readLine(), i++) { if(i != line) out.println(s); } in.close(); out.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public static void copyAndRemoveLine(String in, String out, int line) { try { copyAndRemoveLine(new FileReader(in), new FileWriter(out), line); } catch(Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } public static void main(String[] args) { copyAndRemoveLine("file", "file_copy", line); }
