Answer 1

I came up with this which splits on the tab character:

   using(System.IO.StreamReader rdr = new System.IO.StreamReader(@"C:\text.txt"))
   {
            int counter = 0;
            string lne;
            while((lne = rdr.ReadLine()) != null)
            {
                string[] temp = lne.Split('\t');
                Console.WriteLine(temp[0]);
                Console.WriteLine(temp[1]);
                counter++;
            }
   }
   Console.ReadLine();

After that you can just use a StringBuilder to concatenate the the items in the array with a comma.
