Here is another way using the Microsoft.VisualBasic library:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

class Program

{

static void Main(string[] args)

{

TextFieldParser tfp = new TextFieldParser("TextFile.txt") {

CommentTokens = new string[] { "#" } };

tfp.SetDelimiters(",");

List<string> d = new List<string>();

while (!tfp.EndOfData)

{

var q = tfp.ReadFields();

d.Add (String.Format("{0}{1}{2}",

q[1].ToUpper().PadRight(16),

q[2].ToUpper().PadRight(16),

q[3].ToUpper().PadRight(16)));

}

tfp.Close();

foreach (var t in d)

Console.WriteLine(t);

}

To the post directly above this one, that's not using the Microsoft.VisualBasic library. It's still C#
