See below working code based on DamithSL's excellent solution, I can now populate all 20x fields in my class. Its probably not so very elegant and I need to handle empty files etc. But I'm very happy to have got this far!

Thank You so very much :)

I did, the code is great. However I don't know in advance how many fields there will be. From your code would you recommend setting "lines" to 20x blank fields and overwrite with data fields found.
Is there a way to do that, or would I empty/copy var lines into an array?

See me new comment directly above your last comment, which was added as a new comment rather than reply by accident, Im creating a 34x fields record made up of 200+ records of raw data upto 20x fields of an unknown length and order, with each having 14x application control fields added in the process. I want to display the raw data in a simple way and add notes, status etc for each record. I realise that you would normally take control of all data, but this is a work around hence my initial question might be unusual. I will start again tomorrow as must collect my daughter from nursey, any help will be very much appreciated

Thats excellent, can I just ask. What is the default behaviour if the line in lines dosent cover all 20x fields. If its a null or empty string that would do it. Let me know please.
I have to collect my daughter and will start again tomorrow :)

I take it that this is a Linq query, I have no experience here.
It looks very elegant, and TOO easy!
Hope I can get this working like this, and mark you off as the solution.

Thanks in the meantime

Ok, I have basic data which is typically
AcctNumber,Name,Status1,Status2,Period1,Period2
ABC123,Abc Ltd,Good,Good,March,April
SOP100,Sophie Ltd,Good,Good,March,April
Execpt that there are 200+ records ordinarily and upto 20x fields which can comprise of a number of things as a "Printout" type of output. I want to add these to a 34x field class, with the last 14x fields being dates, notes and user defined statues. The first 20x fields do not change unless updated by the software that gave the "Printout", and I can update them once I know how to convert them into the class instance. The last 14x fields make the application useful, and are unconnected to the 20x fields which are for display only.

There are 200+ records typically.
I want to combine upto 20x string elements by position, with 14 application control fields. The 20x fields of data which have an unknown order, are displayed very simply and thats all, whilst the 14 other fields make the application usefull and capture the users comments, status changes etc, and make a simple progress chaser. The arrangement of the alien data wont change over time.
