Here's a simple solution based on your 5 commas criteria
List<String> lines = new List<string>();
string line;
System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader("c:\\test.txt");
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
lines.Add(line);
}
lines.RemoveAll(l => l.Contains(",,,,,"));
Then you can write it back out or whatever you'd like
Writing out :
using (System.IO.StreamWriter outfile = new System.IO.StreamWriter(outputPath))
{
outfile.Write(String.Join(System.Environment.NewLine, lines.ToArray()));
}
