      LineNumberInputStream lnis = null;
      FileInputStream fis =null;
      int i;
      
      try{
         // create new input streams

         // set the line number
         lnis.setLineNumber(100);
         
         // get the current line number
         i=lnis.getLineNumber();
         
         // prints
         System.out.print("Line number: "+i);
      }catch(Exception e){

      }finally{
         
         // closes the stream and releases any system resources
         if(fis!=null)
            fis.close();
         if(lnis!=null)
            lnis.close();      
      }
   }
}

Assuming we have a text file c:/test.txt, which has the following content. This file will be used as an input for our example program:

ABCDE

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result:

Line number: 100
