find evidence and say what it is suggesting (8 marks)

</li>
All four of the Assessment Objectives are tested through this part of the exam.
</li>
<h2>What to expect from the texts

I have text file like this format..i need to convert the file format to the below tag format

<li> <list>
[any-text] <litem> [any-text]</ litem>
[any-text] <litem> [any-text]</ litem>
<li> to <list>
[any-text] ----> <litem> [any-text]</ litem>
[any-text] <litem> [any-text]</ litem>
</li> </list>
[any-text] <litem> [any-text]</ litem>
[any-text] <litem> [any-text]</ litem>
</li> </list>

I took each line using readline from the text file.I replaced <li> to <list>
and </li> to </list>.
but i am facing problem inside <list> tag.How can convert the inside tag. i want to change the
 tag inside of the <list> tag..
Anyone please help me ,how to do this nd what is the way or logic behind of this to do
Thanks in advance....

use Regex to match the strings you want to replace

Try this sample code:

string oldText = "<p>There will be at least one question based on each text in the first four questions.</p>";
string newText = oldText.Replace("<p>", "<item>").Replace("</p>", "</item>");

Declare a boolean variable say 'boolIsListOpen' with default value as 'False'.

Now, while reading each line, when the string '<list>' will occur, set boolIsListOpen = True

And, when '</list> will occur, set boolIsListOpen = False

For replacing, use the code in my previous post. But, based on the value in the boolIsListOpen.

If it's True then only replace the values in the string.

Try this:

string[] stringInput = { "<p>&lt;toc&gt;</p>", "<p> [any-text]$$[any-text]</p>", "<p>[any-text]$$[any-text]</p>", "<p> [any-text]</p>", "<p>[any-text]</p>", "<p>&lt;/toc&gt;</p>" };

        int intCount = 3;
        for (int i = 0; i < stringInput.Length; i++)
        {
            intCount = intCount == 0 ? 2 : intCount;
            stringInput[i] = stringInput[i].Trim().Replace("<p>&lt;toc&gt;</p>", "<contents>").Replace("<p>&lt;/toc&gt;</p>", "</contents>").Replace("<p>", "<entry" + intCount + "><secname>").Replace("$$", "</secname> <pageno>").Replace("</p>", "</pageno></entry" + intCount + ">").Replace("<secname> ", "<secname>");
            intCount--;
        }

@ v-ambily

you've already posted your second question here http://forums.asp.net/t/1768431.aspx/1?convert+the+text+file.

i've answered it with a pseudo code example that you can translate into c# by taking advantage of the many c# functions ... you'll learn more by trying to at least partially solve your problems yourself ... then you can show us code snippets when you get into difficulties and we can point you in the right direction.

please note: it's not really a good idea to post the same question in multiple threads; while i can not speak on behalf of the moderators, i suspect it's not a practice they'd appreciate.

just my opinion.

g.

TIMTOWTDI =. there is more than one way to do it

B-) Please help me by completing my school survey about computer programmers on my website. Thank you!!! Gerry Lowry +1 705-429-7550 wasaga beach, ontario, canada
