I don't quite understand your problem. You have data between the div tags, it's comma-separated so easy enough to read into a string array. If you post the code you're using to read it in and explain either the error or how the results don't match what you expect

Read the data as a XML string and fetch the inner xml of each <div> node.

If you're using ASP.NET, and the HTML file is relative to your website path:

C#

string html = File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/virtualPathTo/file.html"));
int start_index = html.IndexOf("<div class="info">") + 18;
int end_index = html.IndexOf("</div>") + 6;
string[] return1 = html.Substring(start_index, end_index - start_index).Split(,);

html = html.Substring(end_index);        //suppress previous div from string

... (do the same for getting the others div informations)

By repeated use of System.String.IndexOf()[^] or a one-time System.String.IndexOfAny()[^] you can get all the

XML

<div class="info"></div>

tags. From each one you can then search for the closing

XML

and store the in-between stuff in your string array.

Or, since this seems to be XML, use aSystem.Xml.XmlDocument[^], feed it with one of its Load methods (Load(TextReader)[^], Load(Stream)[^], LoadXml(String)[^], ...) and check its ChildNodes[^].

Try this:

C#

FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"C:\Users\amit\Desktop\Test.txt", FileMode.Open);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs);
string str = sr.ReadToEnd();
string [] separator = {"<div class=\"info\">", "</div>"};//Store the separator in string array
string[] newStrings = str.Split(separator, StringSplitOptions.None);//Split the string using that seperator. You can again split these values using comma(,) and get the strings.

Hope it helps!
