                if (isInteger(line))
                {
                    int i = Integer.parseInt(line);
                    if (i > 0) { System.out.println(line); }
                }

            }
        }
        catch(  NumberFormatException | IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
        return null;

    }

    public static boolean isInteger( String input )
    {
        try
        {
            Integer.parseInt(input);
            return true;
        }
        catch(NumberFormatException e ) { return false; }
    }`

i tried to and enter in the begining of the file it Works! but when the number are the first line in the file java ignore it

Your file name looks wrong - too many back-slashes. YOu only need two backslashes in your String literal to represent a single backslash in the file path
