How to extract text from specific columns from a csv file in c#?

Question

I have been working on extracting text from a csv file and store the data in a string. But now, I would like to extract text from some of the specific columns and store the data in a string.I would like the wordDocContents variable to contain the specific columns and the data in those specific columns which is bank_account , bank_name , customer_name . Currently, my wordDocContents has the entire data from my csv file. Is there a way to filter out the specific columns and the data in those columns and store it in the variable wordDocContents . Thanks

Here is what I tried so far -

public void button1Clicked(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    button1.Text = "You clicked me";

    var textExtractor = new TextExtractor();

    var wordDocContents = textExtractor.Extract("t.csv");
    Console.WriteLine(wordDocContents);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

I believe you are looking for class to parse structured files.
