Nope! You haven't said anything about what the problem is at all.

First, thank you MR:Dave
my problem is how to read all lines in subtitle file to The appropriate columns ..

OK, so create a data structure to hold a single line of information and a collection, like List(Of myLineType), to hold all the lines. Read a line from the file and create a new object from it and add it to the list.

After you've got that, THEN you can worry about getting columns in a ListView.

you can use regular expression for this.
try following

C#

using System.IO;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

C#

private void ProcessSubTitleFile(string pathToFile)
{
Regex regex = new Regex(@"(?<num>\d+)\r\n(?<starttime>(\d\d:){2}\d\d,\d{3})\s-->\s(?<endtime>(\d\d:){2}\d\d,\d{3})\r\n(?<translationtext>(.|[\r\n])+?(?=\r\n\r\n|$))");            
            var textOfFile =File.ReadAllText(pathToFile);
            var matches = regex.Matches(textOfFile);
            var splits = regex.Split(textOfFile);
            foreach (Match match in matches)
            {
                var num = match.Groups["num"].Value;
                var starttime = match.Groups["starttime"].Value;
                var endtime = match.Groups["endtime"].Value;
                var translationtext = match.Groups["translationtext"].Value;                
            }
            
        }

or you can get the anonymous list

C#

private void ProcessSubTitleFile(string pathToFile)
{
   Regex regex = new Regex(@"(?<num>\d+)\r\n(?<starttime>(\d\d:){2}\d\d,\d{3})\s-->\s(?<endtime>(\d\d:){2}\d\d,\d{3})\r\n(?<translationtext>(.|[\r\n])+?(?=\r\n\r\n|$))");            
   var textOfFile =File.ReadAllText(pathToFile);
   var matches = regex.Matches(textOfFile);
   var splits = regex.Split(textOfFile);

   var items = (from System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match match in matches
       select new
       {
             num = match.Groups["num"].Value,
             starttime = match.Groups["starttime"].Value,
             endtime = match.Groups["endtime"].Value,
             translationtext = match.Groups["translationtext"].Value
       }).ToList();              
 }
