I’m trying to pull in an src value from an XML document, and in one that I’m testing it with, the src is:

<content src="content/Orwell - 1984 - 0451524934_split_2.html#calibre_chapter_2"/>

That creates a problem when trying to open the file. I’m not sure what that #(stuff) suffix is called, so I had no luck searching for an answer. I’d just like a simple way to remove it if possible. I suppose I could write a function to search for a # and remove anything after, but that would break if the filename contained a # symbol (or can a file even have that symbol?)

Thanks!

    If you had the src in a string you could use 

    srcstring.Substring(0,srcstring.LastIndexOf("#"));

    Which would return the src without the #. If the values you are retreiving are all web urls then this should work, the # is a bookmark in a url that takes you to a specific part of the page.
