Hi Maulikshah,

You could use the below code to remove \ and : from the list of string

XML

List<string> temp = new List<string>();
            Dictionary<string, string> output = new Dictionary<string, string>();
            temp.Add("\"Test1\":\"ascdfvgv\"");
            temp.Add("\"Test2\":\"wqaasss\"");
            temp.Add("\"Test3\":\"bababalnbala\"");

            for (int i = 0; i < temp.Count; i++)
            {
                temp[i] = temp[i].Replace("\"", "");
                temp[i] = temp[i].Replace(@":", " ");
                temp[j].Split(' ');
                output.Add(temp[j].Split(' ')[0], temp[j].Split(' ')[1]);
            }

            string dicVal = output["Test1"];

Output will be like

Test1 ascdfvgv<br />
Test2 wqaasss<br />
Test3 bababalnbala

But what you mean by split? do you want to split the array in to what?
Update your question with your required output so I could help you out.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Regards,
RK

Solution 2

C#

List<string> lst = new List<string>();
       lst.Add("\"Test1\":\"ascdfvgv\"");
       lst.Add("\"Test2\":\"wqaasss\"");
       lst.Add("\"Test3\":\"bababalnbala\"");

       Dictionary<string, string> dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
       lst.ForEach(k => { dict.Add(k.Replace("\"", "").Split(':')[0], k.Replace("\"", "").Split(':')[1]); });

       string key = "Test1";

       string value = dict[key];

after select into list as

List<strclass> strValues =
(from x in lst
select new strClass()
{
text = x.Replace("\\", string.Empty).Split(':')[0],
val = x.Replace("\\", string.Empty).Split(':')[1],
}).ToList();

how to search a specific text and according value ,
