Can .Readline start at a specific column?

Basically all I need to know is if it is possible to start reading a line at a certain column.

strEmail = InputFile.ReadLine()
      lblEmailAddress.Text = strEmail.ToString()

I want to omit the first 16 columns of this line in the lbl, can I do this? If not, its not really a problem just have to rethink a couple things.
