How to skip multiple iterations in a while loop

Question

I'm reading a text file line by line in a While loop. When I reach a specific line I want to skip the the current and the next 3 iterations.

I guess I can do it using a counter and things like that. But I was wondering if there is a more elegant way?

using (var sr = new StreamReader(source))
{
    string line;
    while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        if (line == "Section 1-1")
        {
            // skip the next 3 iterations (lines)
        }
    }
}

Answer 1

Have a for loop to execute sr.ReadLine 3 times and discard the result like:

using (var sr = new StreamReader(source))
{
    string line;
    while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
    {
        if (line == "Section 1-1")
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
            {
                sr.ReadLine();
            }
        }
    }
}

You should check for sr.ReadLine returning null or if the stream has come to an end.
