Saving text manipulated data

Hello.

I have a small question/problem.

I have this text file:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. // Test
  2. 0
  3. 0    0    0    15    15    7    // 0
  4. end
  5.  
  6. 1
  7. 1    1    30    25    25    240    240    -1    5    // 1   
  8. end


I read it into an array in C#, but in my array I read it in as
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 0    0    0    15    15    7    // 0
  2. 1    1    30    25    25    240    240    -1    5    // 1

Since this is a easyer way of manipulating with the data, but now I want to save the data to the text file.
I know the line number of my array, but that does not add up with the orginal file since I stripped som things

So my question is: How do I save the manipulated data so it fits with the orginal data?

My code looks like this:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.             string[] SaveMonsterLines = File.ReadAllLines(XMLfileLocation);
  2.             SaveMonsterLines[linenumber] = "1    1    30    25    25    240    240    -1    5    // 1";
  3.             File.WriteAllLines(@"D:/output.txt", SaveMonsterLines);

If you dont understand my question/problem, please speak up

Now I got the saving text working by not removing any data from the text file so my array looks like this:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. // Test
  2. 0
  3. 0    0    0    15    15    7    // 0
  4. end
  5.  
  6. 1
  7. 1    1    30    25    25    240    240    -1    5    // 1   
  8. end

But now I ran into another problem

I have a image where I draw ellipses on with the coordinates from my text file (X: 15 Y: 15 and the 2: X: 25, Y: 25). It triggers on the paint event from the image

I also have a mouse down event on my image

I save all my ellipses in a list called
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. List<Rectangle> mapRectangleList = new List<Rectangle>();

When I do mouse down I see if the mouse is over a ellipse. If it is it jumps to a specific line in my MonsterDataArray, but the problem is when I save all my ellipses in the list I dont take end, 0, // and the other things from my text with. I only take:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 1	0	30	25	25	240	240	-1	5 	// Red Dragon	
  2. 2	0	30	35	35	185	132	-1	10  	// Golden Titan

So when I jump to specific line in my array the line doesnt match up

Yeah im kinda lost here..

Here is the mouse down part:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. // Getting cursor position
  2.             Point p = mapImage.PointToClient(Cursor.Position);
  3.  
  4.             for (int i = 0; i < mapRectangleList.Count; i++)
  5.             {
  6.                 if (mapRectangleList[i].Contains(p))
  7.                 {
  8.                     ellipseNum = i;
  9.                     break;
  10.                 }
  11.             }
  12.             // If ellipsenum is over a ellipse
  13.             if (ellipseNum > -1)
  14.             {
  15.                 MessageBox.Show(Convert.ToString(ellipseNum));
  16.                 displayLine(ellipseNum);
  17.             }
  18.             else
  19.             {
  20.                 // Else show alert
  21.                 MessageBox.Show("Not currently over any ellipse");
  22.             }

Paint event:
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.             // Open the data file (msbr = monsterSetBaseRead)
  2.             StreamReader msbr = new StreamReader(new FileStream(@XMLmonsterSetBaseLocation, FileMode.Open));
  3.  
  4.             // Reading all data
  5.             while ((MapMonsterSetBaseData = msbr.ReadLine()) != null)
  6.             {
  7.                 // Splitting data into TxtPiecesMap[]
  8.                 String[] TxtPiecesMap = MapMonsterSetBaseData.Split('\t');
  9.  
  10.                 // Checking if data is a correct monster
  11.                 checkIf(MapMonsterSetBaseData);
  12.  
  13.                 // If it is then continue
  14.                 if (checkIfStatus == true)
  15.                 {
  16.                     // Getting the x and y cord
  17.                     MapXCord = Convert.ToInt16(TxtPiecesMap[3]) * 2;
  18.                     MapYCord = Convert.ToInt16(TxtPiecesMap[4]) * 2;
  19.  
  20.                     // Creating grapic
  21.                     Graphics g = e.Graphics;
  22.  
  23.                     // Creating rectangle with cords from coordinates
  24.                     Rectangle r = new Rectangle(MapXCord, MapYCord, 6, 6);
  25.  
  26.                     // Drawing ellipse on map
  27.                     g.DrawEllipse(Pens.Gold, r);
  28.  
  29.                     // Adding data for ToolTips and Rectangles lists
  30.                     mapRectangleList.Add(r);
  31.                 }

And my checkif
C# Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.         private void checkIf(string data)
  2.         {
  3.             // If monster string is correct
  4.             if (data != "" && data.Length != 3 && data != "end" && data.Substring(0, 1) != "/" && data.Length != 1)
  5.             {
  6.                 // Passes
  7.                 checkIfStatus = true;
  8.             }
  9.             else
  10.             {
  11.                 // Failed
  12.                 checkIfStatus = false;
  13.             }
  14.         }

Dont know if this makes any sense

There might be an easier soloution, but I dont know it

Its allmost the same problem as before, but in a diffrent context
