Read a text file _including some column based data in c#

The data file is as follows which includes 1. a description line(starts with *SUMMARY of...*) 2.The names of each column 3.four lines which are not needed to be read(they may include some numbers but we donot care) 4.few space lines(not known how many-we should skip them-) 5. and the data columns respresentative of each name(in line 2).
I want to read each column of data into an array with the name in line 2.
--note: 1. The begining of each section is started with string "SUMMARY" which helps that after this line the data should be read. Before SUMMARY string there may be an empty line.
--note: 2. If there a name-like DATE or CPR- is repeated we should change the name to DATE1,DATE2,.. and CPR1,CPR2,...
--note: 3. All Data EXCEPT *DATE* are of type DOUBLE so all data are type DOUBLE except the columns for DATE.

I wonder if it is it possible to to" look for one the data column once a time" represent each name. for example I want to look for data corresponding to CPR2[] or COPR2[],... once a time. I mean each time I need an array, it should opens the text file and searches for that specific name and obtain the data column needed.
For example if I need CPR2, it searches for second CPR find in the file an read the corresponding data.


Well, it is becomming quite long, sorry for that. I wonder is someone kindly helps.
