  string all = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(strContent);
               string[] lines = all.Split(new string[] { "\"@\",", ",\"$\"" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
               lines = lines.Skip(1).ToArray();
               
                for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)

Hi csharpcoder,

According to your description and code, I notice that you put two " characters in your code, you when you use replace method, you need use it like this:

Sample Code:

string path = @"C:\Users\Desktop\characters.txt";

string all = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(path);

string a= all.Replace("DESCRIPTION:\"\"", "DESCRIPTION:");
