Trying to extract data after several non-data lines |

I'm trying to process data in a file.
The first part of the file consists of several lines that are irrelevant as far
as the data processing goes.
The last line before the data begins reads
"X_Value,Voltage_wrist,Voltage_midarm,Comment".
The data consists of three columns of comma-separated floating-point numbers.
I'm using the fgetl command to read the lines in the file. But I can't figure
out for the life of me how to get the algorithm to notice
"X_Value,Voltage_wrist,Voltage_midarm,Comment" so it can start switching to a
different mode.
Can someone shed some light on how to get the algorithm to notice that
particular line?
