How can I parse a large CDATA string coming from an L5X (XML with L5K inside) file as a List in C#?

I have a large CDATA string (below and trimmed for ease of reading) coming from an L5X File containing alarms for a given tag.

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!
