How would it be possible to search for a string e.g. #Test1 in a text file and then output the line below it as a string e.g.

Test.txt

#Test1
86/100

#Test2
99/100

#Test3
13/100

so if #Test2 was the search keyword “99/200” would be turned into a string

    Parse the file once, store the results in a dictionary. Then lookup in the dictionary.

    var dictionary = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    var lines = File.ReadLines("testScores.txt");
    var e = lines.GetEnumerator();
    while(e.MoveNext()) {
        if(e.Current.StartsWith("#Test")) {
            string test = e.Current;
            if(e.MoveNext()) {
                dictionary.Add(test, e.Current);
            }
            else {
                throw new Exception("File not in expected format.");
            }
        }
    }  
    

    Now you can just say

    Console.WriteLine(dictionary["#Test1"]);
    

    etc.

    Also, long-term, I recommend moving to a database.
