Reading lines from file - potato - 26.04.2010

Hi!
I have a quite large file with text, each text line is devided by \n or simply enter.
How can I read a random line from the file?

Read the file with fread() n-times, so you move the pointer down

pawn Code:

new
    rand = random(20),
    i = 0;

while (i < rand)
{
    fread(file, string);
    i++;
}
