you like:

if (system.io.file.exists(location) == true) { var lines=file.readalllines(location); int usersnumber = lines.count() / 3; for(int i=0; < usersnumber; i++){ var firstfield=lines[i*3]; var secondfield=lines[i*3 +1]; var thirdfield=lines[i*3 +2]; dostuffs(firstfield,secondfield,thirdfield); } if(lines.count() > usersnumber *3) //in case there'd spare lines left dosomethingelsefrom(lines, index=(usersnumber*3 +1)); }

you're reading lines of file, counting how many users have (group of 3), each grouping you're retrieving associate info, , in end you're processing grouping of 3 fields related same user.
