Java 如何对Stream.findNth（）进行编码？

类似于

Stream.findFirst（）

，是否有方法编写

Stream.findNth（）

我正在通过重写一些遗留代码来练习Java8。我想知道如何使用流API编写下面的函数

static curPipeNumber = 0;

/** skipToEntry() updates 'curPipeNumber' to 'pipeNumber' and returns the first byte position of the word before the ('pipeNumber')-th pipe.
 * It does so by reading and ignoring unnecessary bytes from the buffer.
 * e.g., 
 */
static int skipToEntry(byte[] buf, int len, int nextByteToBeRead, int pipeNumber) {

    if(curPipeNumber == pipeNumber)
        return nextByteToBeRead;

    for(; nextByteToBeRead < len; nextByteToBeRead++) {
        if(buf[nextByteToBeRead] == '|') {
            ++curPipeNumber;
            if(curPipeNumber == pipeNumber) {
                return ++nextByteToBeRead;              
            }
        }
    }

    return nextByteToBeRead;
}

static int skipToEntry(byte[] buf, int len, int nextByteToBeRead, int pipeNumber) {     
    if(curPipeNumber == pipeNumber)
        return nextByteToBeRead;

    OptionalInt pipeIndex = IntStream.range(i, len)
             .filter(n -> buf[n] == '|')
                 .findNth(pipeNumber);

            curPipeNumber = pipeNumber;
            nextByteToBeRead = pipeIndex.getAsInt() + 1;

    return nextByteToBeRead;
}

OptionalInt result = stream.skip(n-1).findFirst();
