title: Reading a part of a txt file in VB.NET
body: <p>I need to read a txt file part by part...
  For example, in a txt file: (age,5char_name)</p>
  
  <pre><code>17susan23wilma25fredy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to read firstly <code>17susan</code>. In other words, the first seven characters and after <code>23wilma</code> and <code>25fredy</code>, but <strong>I'm not reading the whole file and substring the file record.</strong> Is there a way to do this via streamreader?</p>
  
  <p>Records are always seven bytes... 2 bytes for age, 5 bytes for name and all records in a line. There is no jump into the next line.</p>
