Do you mean ReadLn ?
Forgive me if there are syntax errors, typing this is off the top of my head.

StreamReader reader = File.OpenText("C:\\MyFile.txt");
            string line = reader.ReadLine();
            while (line != null )
            {
                // do something with the line. Assume a delimiter of Tab
                string Name = line.Split('\t')[0];
                string Account = line.Split('\t')[1];
                line = reader.ReadLine();
            }
            reader.Close();
            reader.Dispose();
