UTL_FILE how to use utl_file.get_line

I need urgent help with the UTL_FILE package. I succeed in opening and writing from sql*plus to a file ascii but cannot succeed in getting lines from it, because i receive an UTL.FILE.READ_ERROR exception in the UTL_FILE.GET_LINE procedure..

Any help greatly appreciated,
