Reseting only one file from a old commit

I have done several commits since I started to write the code. Unfortunately I have messed up one of the files (lets say it was "messFile.txt" ). I don,t want to reset entire repository. I am trying to revert state of only one file (from one of the old commit). Can I do that?
I would be very grateful for your help guys, examples are very welcome. Have a nice day.

Just check out that file from the commit you want to:

git checkout COMMIT_HASH -- FILENAME

Substitute for COMMIT_HASH and FILENAME as necessary. After you've checked the file out, you can add & commit it to get the old content back onto top-of-tree.
