FileStream Write/Read

Hi All,
can anybody tell me how to read or write Streamfield beginning from special line?

FileStream fs = new FileStream("Specifications.txt", FileMode.Open);

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs);

string SpecificationsModelSettings;

SpecificationsModelSettings = sr.ReadLine(); ----> here I want to read beginning from Line "xxx"

I want to order datas in parts, and read/write only specific parts

thanx in advance

Here's one way

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            int flen = File.ReadAllLines(@"Specifications.txt").Length;
            string SpecificationsModelSettings = string.Empty;
            bool xMode = false;
            using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("Specifications.txt"))
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < flen - 1; i++)
                {

                    SpecificationsModelSettings = sr.ReadLine();
                    if (!xMode)
                    {
                        if (SpecificationsModelSettings == "###")
                        {
                            xMode = true;
                        }

                    }
                    else if (xMode)
                    {
                        if (SpecificationsModelSettings == "###")
                        {
                            xMode = false;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            listBox1.Items.Add(SpecificationsModelSettings);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

        }
