Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

Answer 1

The solution:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;

public class Pr_02_LineNumbers {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        String source = "resources\\02_OddLinesIn.txt";

        try (BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(source)))) {
            String readLine;
            int counter = 1;
            while ((readLine = bf.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.printf("%d. %s%n", counter, readLine);
                counter++;
            }
        }
    }
}
