  • 0

I have a list of xml elements that i need to search for specific types of elements that beging with the text “UserName”. The elements i also have a number after the “UserName” text so they look like this:

I need to find each UserName element in this list but since each one is different due to the number at the end of each one’s name I haven’t been able to find a way to do this. What i was hoping for was a wildcard or something but that’s not working for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

    Please take 15 minutes to understand LINQ to XML! It will take care of such needs easily. If you are not using .NET then take a look at XPATH.
