'If any lines are corrupt, report an error and continue parsing.
While Not MyReader.EndOfData
Try

' Debug.Print(String.Join(",", currentRow))
For Each currentField In currentRow
Debug.Print(currentField)
Next
' Include code here to handle the row.

Use the TextFieldParser-class, it was exactly developed for this purpose:
MSDN Example:
Using Reader As New Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser("C:\TestFolder\test.log")
Reader.TextFieldType = Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FieldType.FixedWidth
Reader.SetFieldWidths(5, 10, 11, -1)
Dim currentRow As String()
While Not Reader.EndOfData
Try
currentRow = Reader.ReadFields()
Dim currentField As String
For Each currentField In currentRow
MsgBox(currentField)
Next
Catch ex As Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.MalformedLineException
MsgBox("Line " & ex.Message &
"is not valid and will be skipped.")
End Try
End While
End Using
