.txt file read for acad polyline conversion

[nicoletap]

i have this .txt file attached.
I need to read data from it, line by line, these ones

Br-1 40.000 PF 1 -8.37 8.37 435.04
Br-1 35.000 PF 1 -8.32 8.32 435.00
Br-1 34.043 PF 1 -8.31 8.31 434.98
Br-1 20.016 Bridge
Br-1 5.990 PF 1 -8.35 8.35 434.87
Br-1 5.000 PF 1 -8.34 8.34 434.86
Br-1 0.000 PF 1 -8.30 8.30 434.81

and create a polyline in acad from them.
The main question for me is how do i read these lines one by one and store to variables.
For example i need a "length" variable for the second column, a "leftoffset" variable for 4th column, a "rightoffset" for 5th column and "elevation" for 6th column.
If you can give a hint please. I am just starting programming and i am confused little bit . So any idea can help me.

You could use a TextFieldParser. The documentation for that class has a code example.

You could also just do something like this:

For Each line In IO.File.ReadLines(filePath)
    Dim fields = line.Split(" "c)

    'Use fields here.
