You'll find this function useful:

Usage: array explode ( string separator, string string [, int limit] )
Purpose: Split a string by string
Availability: PHP 3, PHP 4

Thanks.
So it id not possible to read it directly and I have to read the whole line
and then parse it
Then how shall I read a necessary line? I can't find a function accepting
the line No as a parameter

You could use file() (returns array of lines). Then just use the last item in
the array.
