Cool read a list one at a time

just have a muddled head at the moment... bare with me.

say i have a variable $count... and a list in a file

i want to use the $count line from that textfile but don't seem to recall how to access it?

eg

user=`cat file1.txt` # user to be $count line in that list?


eg

david
mark
james
kevin # want to extract mark as the $count variable

if someone could steer me to the right function I'd greatly appreciate the tip...
