How to substring a text easily

Question

Alright here the question. This is an example text

Nokia 700<span>Stok Kodu: 389952</span>
<br><span style="background-image:none; margin:0; padding:0; font:14px/18px Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Nokia 700 Cep Telefonu PDA, Dokunmatik, Bluetooth, Radyo</span>

I want to get "Nokia 700" which starts with index 0 and ends with <span> and i am able to do it with the way below

var singleNode = myDoc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(srxProductName);
string srProductName = singleNode.InnerHtml.ToString()
    .Substring(0, singleNode.InnerHtml.ToString().IndexOf("<span>"));

The question is i wonder are there any easier or more practical way of doing it.

Answer 1

If you already have the node containing your text in singleNode, you can just extract the first child node, which should be a text node, and get its value:

var productName = singleNode.ChildNodes[0].Value;
