One problem that I can find in your code is that you don't need the following line:

reader.Close();

using automatically does this for you.

Furthermore, your looping condition should check EndOfStream instead of trimming the line.

i.e., Modifying your code to something like this:

using(StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(modifiedFile))
{

    while(!reader.EndOfStream)
    {
        string line = reader.ReadLine();
        string[] split = line.Split(',');
        if(split[1]==barcode)
        {
            found = true;
            break;
        }
    }
}
