So the question is how can the program be changed to allow the program to sk

If you want to use it more times in your program then it maybe a good idea to make a custom class inherited from StreamReader with the ability to skip lines.

Something like this could do:

class SkippableStreamReader : StreamReader
{
    public SkippableStreamReader(string path) : base(path) { }

    public void SkipLines(int linecount)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < linecount; i++)
        {
            this.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

after this you could use the SkippableStreamReader's function to skip lines. Example:

SkippableStreamReader exampleReader = new SkippableStreamReader("file_to_read");

//do stuff
//and when needed
exampleReader.SkipLines(number_of_lines_to_skip);
