CSVReader can be used for reading a CSV file starting from some line. The fourth argument of CSVReader can be used to skip lines, so if you want to start processing the CSV file from the nth line, you can pass (n-1) as the last argument and then process it upto the required line number. — BajajG, Sep 18 '15 at 05:02

have you tried this:

FileInputStream fs= new FileInputStream("someFile.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fs));
for(int i = 0; i < 14; ++i)
  br.readLine();
String lineIWant = br.readLine();

You should use jxl library. You can find it at http://jexcelapi.sourceforge.net/. I use it in my project and it is really helpful.
