Search "Reading a text file in C#" in google. Once you have a line of text from the file you can use string.Spilt(','); to seperate the info. Something like: string currentText; // text obtained from file string [] seperated = currentText.Split(',');

using(StreamReader sReader = new StreamReader(@"c:\temp\test.txt"))
{
string text = string.Empty;
while((text = sReader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
Console.WriteLine(text);
}
}
