How can I access a .txt file which is present in Azure datalake gen2 directly without downloading

Question

How can I access a .txt file which is present in Azure datalake gen2 directly without downloading. I was able to download and read it but is there any way to directly read file from gen2 directly.

I used read_file method DataLakeFileClient() but this method ouputs entire data, is there any way to read the file line by line?

You can use urllib:

import urllib.request

file = urllib.request.urlopen('your-txt-file-url')
for line in file:
     print(line.decode().strip())
