2> Second line of file
3> Third line of file
csharp
int counter = 0;
// If the file is large, you would want to buffer this instead of reading everything at once
foreach (string line in System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("filename.txt"))
{
Console.WriteLine("{0}> {1}", ++counter, line);
}
// If the file is large, you would want to buffer this instead of reading everything at once
