Cmdline option to open file at specific line #58

Hey.

Long time Logexpert user (and fan!). Great that you maintain it.
I know I can start LogExpert with a filename as a CMD argument so it starts opening that file, but what I am missing is an option to also supply a specific line number so it will open up that file and go to that specific line.

Use Case:
I've written a tool that finds gaps in log files (e.g. for 24/7 running processes with rather constant log output to locate times where nothing is logged for a longer period of time). I identify these gaps automatically and want an option to open the file in LogExpert at that specific location to do further checks with proper highlighting and the comfort of LogExpert.

I know that Notepad++ can do that ("Notepad++.exe FILENAME -n LINENUMBER") and would love to have the same functionality.

Thanks!
