Question

Hello! I have an assignment for my Intro to Java Programming class and I would like some help on it please! It is listed below!

Write a code that extracts lines from line number 709 to 714 from a romeo_and_juliet.txt in a zip file attached and that dumps those extracted lines into a file called "output.txt". The following are the lines that should be printed in output.txt. The line numbers are not in the file remeo_and_juliet.txt. They are just added for explanation.

709: Wife. Nurse, where's my daughter? Call her forth to me.  
710: Nurse. Now, by my maidenhead at twelve year old,   
711: I bade her come. What, lamb! what ladybird!   
712: God forbid! Where's this girl? What, Juliet!
713:
714: Enter Juliet.

I cannot attatch the .txt file unfortunately. But thank you for any help in advance.
