I need to get the index of any element where the length is not 0 (i.e. a description is present) in it's respective array.
My current code (listed below) extracts the CDATA value as a string using XmlReader.ReadElementContentAsString(), and does several string splits to extract the descriptions from the CDATA. I can not figure out a way to get the index of those descriptions in their respective arrays.
using System;
using System.Xml;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using System.Linq;
XmlReader rdr = new XmlReader();
rdr.ReadToFollowing("Data");
string data = rdr.ReadElementContentAsString();
string[] formattedDataList = data.TrimStart('[').TrimEnd(']').Split(',');
foreach (var line in formattedDataList)
{
var item = line.TrimStart('[').TrimEnd(']');<br>
if (item[0] != '[' && item[0] != '0' && item[0] != '0' && item[1] != '$' && item[0] == '\'')
{
Console.WriteLine(item.Split('\'')[1].Split('$')[0]);
}
}
Any help in getting the index of the descriptions is appreciated!
