Re: Remove Certain Text from Xml

You can remove it by using REGEX class of c#

Re: Remove Certain Text from Xml

i tried this but it's not working

//Regex rgx = new Regex(@"-[0-9]-");
                    //string Xml = rgx.Replace(value, string.Empty);

Re: Remove Certain Text from Xml

HI IF YOUR XML FILE IS ALWAYS SAME

try this,

var xm1="your xml code";//

  var str = xm1.Split('\n').Where(a => a.StartsWith("<")).Select(a=>a.Replace('\r',' ').Trim());
            var res=String.Join("", str);

Re: Remove Certain Text from Xml

Made New Method and it Worked

public string RemoveUnWantedCharsfromXml(string XmlFile)
        {
            string Xml = string.Empty;
            Regex regex = new Regex(@"-[0-9]+-", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
            if (regex.IsMatch(XmlFile))
                Xml = regex.Replace(XmlFile, String.Empty);
            return Xml;
        }



san i couldn;t use method bcuz it kept giving me error in String.Join
The best overload method is string[]

Hello

First I'd to say that I've tested your codesit works great

namespace A
{
    class Program
    {
        public static string RemoveUnWantedCharsfromXml(string XmlFile)
        {
            string Xml = string.Empty;
            Regex regex = new Regex(@"-[0-9]+-", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
            if (regex.IsMatch(XmlFile))
                Xml = regex.Replace(XmlFile, String.Empty);
            return Xml;
        }
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string s = "<IceCream=\"Vanilla\"/><assignedPerson>-1-<name><prefix>Mr..</prefix><name1>Martin</name1></name></assignedPerson>";
            s = RemoveUnWantedCharsfromXml(s);
            Console.WriteLine(s);
        }
    }
}

If you are sure that you only want to remove "-1"——Just use this following

string s = "Your xml contents";
s=s.Replace("-1-","");
