**SetLine( **//line number //**), PROTECTED, VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **SetLine** | Positions the ASCIIViewerClass object to a specific line. |
| //line number// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE or expresssion that contains the offset or position of the line of text to position to. |

The **SetLine **method positions the ASCIIViewerClass object to a specific line within the browsed file.

**Implementation:**

The AskGotoLine method, the ASCIIFileClass.SetPercentile method, and the ASCIISearchClass.Ask method all use the SetLine method to position to the required text line.

**Example:**

**MyViewerClass.AskGotoLine PROCEDURE**

**LineNo  LONG,STATIC**

**OKGo    BOOL(False)**

**GotoDialog WINDOW('Goto'),AT(,,96,38),GRAY,DOUBLE**

**       SPIN(@n_5),AT(36,4,56,13),USE(LineNo),RANGE(1,99999)**

**       PROMPT('&Line No:'),AT(4,9,32,10),USE(?Prompt1)**

**       BUTTON('&Go'),AT(8,22,40,14),USE(?GoButton)**

**       BUTTON('&Cancel'),AT(52,22,40,14),USE(?CancelButton)**

**     END**

**  CODE**

**  OPEN(GotoDialog)**

**  ACCEPT**

**    CASE EVENT()**

**    OF EVENT:Accepted**

**      CASE ACCEPTED()**

**      OF ?GoButton**

**        OKGo=True**

**        POST(EVENT:CloseWindow)**

**      OF ?CancelButton**

**        POST(EVENT:CloseWindow)**

**      END**

**    END**

**  END**

**  CLOSE(GotoDialog)**

**  IF OKGo THEN SELF.SetLine(LineNo).**
