A.txt:
D/Hi\r\nMy Name is
C#:
string[] Text = Regex.Split(lines[i], "D/");
"I split the txt lines from D/"
MessageBox.Show(Text[1]);
Text[0]=D/
Text[1]=Hi\r\nMy Name is
and messagebox's message is "Hi\r\nMy Name is"

There's nothing to fix. See: https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ms228362%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

I just tried that and it works fine. You need to edit your question and show all the exact code that you are using.

Do you see \r and \n switches when you open text file?
If yes, then text file is corrupted. Those switches shouldn't be visible, because they are non-printable signs.

Please, read my comments to the question. I think your file is broken. \r and \n switches are non-printable signs and shouldn't be visible.
See: Strings (C# Programming Guide)[^]

Check this:

C#

string s = "Hi\r\nMy name is Maciej";

File.WriteAllText(@"D:\s.txt",s);

s = File.ReadAllText(@"D:\s.txt");
Console.WriteLine(s);

It prints:

Hi
My name is Maciej
