Console VB.NET: File Processing - Search file for a specific number and output record - vb.net

Question

Hello I am building a console application in VB.NET that reads a record file and outputs it to the user. I have gotten the program to output all of the records to the console but I cannot seem to get the search function working.
I want the user to input the record number and for the program to search the text file for that specific record and then output it to the console.
I will leave the read record function here for reference.
Read Records function:
Public Function Read_Records()
File_Name = "drecords.txt"
File_num = FreeFile()
Record_Counter = 0
record_no = 999
If File_Name <> "" Then
Try
FileOpen(File_num, File_Name, OpenMode.Input)
Do Until EOF(File_num)
Record_Counter = Record_Counter + 1
record_no = record_no + 1
records(Record_Counter, 0) = record_no
records(Record_Counter, 1) = LineInput(File_num)
records(Record_Counter, 2) = LineInput(File_num)
records(Record_Counter, 3) = LineInput(File_num)
records(Record_Counter, 4) = LineInput(File_num)
records(Record_Counter, 5) = LineInput(File_num)
Loop
record_ID = Record_Counter
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("ERROR OPENING FILE")
Finally
FileClose(File_num)
End Try
End If
Last_Record = Record_Counter
Return records
End Function

I'm not sure exactly what you want, but here are a few examples.
To read a record number from the console and output that record, do something like this:
dim i, k as integer
k = val(console.readline())
for i = 1 to 5
console.writeline(records(k, i))
next i
I'm not sure how else you would identify the record, but, for example, you can search the records for a value of "abc" in the first field like this:
For i = 1 to Last_Record
if records(i, 1) = "abc" then
' output the record to the user
end if
next i
Replace records(i, 1) with records(i, 0) to search for a record number.
If you want to search each field, you can add a nested loop:
For i = 1 to Last_Record
for k = 1 to 5
if records(i, k) = "abc" then
' output the record to the user
end if
next k
next i
