private static void displayTextInputStream(Inp

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(input));
while (true) {
String line = reader.readLine();
if (line == null) break;
System.out.println(" " + line);

I mean the overall byte mark of the starting character for the whole file

What do you mean by "overall byte mark" ? The number of bytes will usually be the same as the number of characters in the file.

if i need to skip to the beginning of a certain line in the file. as you are reading line by line I need the first byte position marker of where it is in the whole file so I can skip to that particular position.
"position here"test,test,test
"position here"test1,test1,test1
"position here"test2,test2,test2
So I can skip to the front of the line and read the whole record
"position here"test,test,test
"position here"test1,test1,test1
"position here"test2,test2,test2
So I can skip to the front of the line and read the whole record

Each 'line' is a String. So the position of the first character in it will be 0 in the CharSequence array.
