+# Edit A File At A Specific Line Number
+
+I use long-running Vim sessions where I constantly open files as new buffers
+with the `:edit` (or `:e`) command. Generally, when I open a new file I
+end up with the cursor at the top of the buffer and go from there. But what
+if I have a specific line number in mind and I want the cursor to start
+there?
+
+The `:edit` command can receive arguments, including a line number argument. To
+open up to line 159, I can include the `+159` argument in the command.
+
+```
+:edit +159 path/to/the/file.txt
+```
+
+See `:h :edit` and `:h +cmd` for more details about how `:edit` works and
+what the different arguments can do.
