            string[] stm;
          
            char [] split = { ' ', ',' };
            using (StreamReader Red = new StreamReader(@"C:\My_File.txt"))
            {

                while (Red.Peek() > -1)
                {
                    line = Red.ReadLine();
                    stm = line.Split(split);
                    foreach (string str in stm)
                    {
                        if (str != "")
                            count++;
                    }
                   
                }
