So i'm working on a project to parse lots of xml files and extract 6 values from them I think the easiest is using linq to xml.
Here is what the xml looks like: ( the '<' '>' around all values have been taken out by editor.)

XAxisCalib
Max 288.93 Max
Min-48.08 Min

HTML

<maxs>200</maxs>           
<dftht>0</dftht>           
<ldve>0</ldve>           
<ejve>0</ejve>

YAxisCalib
Max 646.01/Max
Min-90.9/Min

HTML

<maxs>200</maxs>           
<dftht>0</dftht>           
<ldve>0</ldve>          
 <ejve>0</ejve>         
<yaxiscalib> </yaxiscalib>

ZAxisCalib
Max 16.1 Max
Min-146.82 Min

I need to extract form the files the max and min of each x,y,and z calib.
Anyone help with this?

I have this example but how do I manipulate it to extract those 6 values. I only want those values and I want to save them to a file not display on screen

C#

string file = @"c:\file.xml";  
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(file);   
int i = 0;   
var result = from ele in doc.Descendants()                    
             where ele.HasElements == false //read leaf node                       
             select new{ ParentName=ele.Parent.Name, Name=ele.Name , Value=ele.Value };  

foreach (var ele in result )     
{          
    Console.WriteLine(ele.ParentName + " " + ele.Name + " " + ele.Value);    
}

I reformatted the best I could, but your example xml is messed up.

The first thing I see is that your new statement is junk. It should be something like this:

C#

var result = from ele in doc.Descendants()
             where ele.HasElements == false //read leaf node
             select new SomeObject(){ ParentName=ele.Parent.Name, Name=ele.Name , Value=ele.Value };

The second thing I see is the use of var in your foreach statement. Just use the correct type. It's much more efficient.

Finally, I recommend that you use complete words for variable names. It makes your code a LOT easier to read.

Could I do something like this for the xaxis calib 'max' and then repeat for 'min' then change it ycalib max and min then zcalib max and min.

string file = @"c:\ScicloneUAC.xml";
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(file);
int i = 0;
var result = from ele in doc.Descendant(XAxisCalib)
where ele.HasElements == false

select new { Max=ele."Max".value, };
foreach (var ele in result ) {
Console.WriteLine(ele."Max".+" ");
}
