Probably - except you have two "Floor" code lines, and "9" appears to be wrong from what I can see.
What have you tried?
Where are you stuck?
What help do you need?

Dim info as string
and cardinfo is byte type
and i am converting that byte into string and i will get the above string
info = System.Text.ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetString(CardInfo)

from that string i want to retrieve only cardtype,tower,starttime,endtime,floor and Room

Do as below

C#

string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(filePath);
            List<string> str = new List<string>();
            for (int j = 0; j < lines.Length; j++)
            {

                var StdReportData = lines[j];
                switch (StdReportData.Split(':')[0].ToUpper())
                {
                    case "CARD TYPE":
                        str.Add(StdReportData);
                        break;
                    case "TOWER":
                        str.Add(StdReportData);
                        break;
                    case "START TIME":
                        str.Add(StdReportData);
                        break;
                    case "END TIME":
                        str.Add(StdReportData);
                        break;
                    case "FLOOR":
                        str.Add(StdReportData);
                        break;
                    case "ROOM":
                        str.Add(StdReportData);
                        break;
                }
            }
