Try this: using System; using System.IO; class Program { static void Main() { string[] records = File.ReadAllLines(karuna.csv); while(true) { Console.Write(Enter first field or 'q' to quit : ); string first = Console.ReadLine(); if (first == q || first == Q) return; bool found = false; foreach(string record in records) { if (record.StartsWith(first + )) { string[] fields = record.Split(''); Console.WriteLine(The second field is : {0} fields[1]); Console.WriteLine(The third field is : {0} fields[2]); found = true; break; } } if (!found) Console.WriteLine(There is no record with a first field of {0} first); Console.WriteLine(); } } }
