I want to break each of those in to two strings. The break point would be two decimal places to the left of the existing decimal point. So in the first example I would end up with 123 and 07.37 and the second example I would end up with 44 and 01.0. I assume I need to use a form of .indexof("."), but I cant figure it out.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to parse this XML for the values of puppies and kittens.
<Pets>
<Puppies>4</Puppies>
<Kittens>2</Kittens>
</Pets>
Here's my code
[Code]...
On the first read, the element name is "Pets" and the Case Else gets hit. On the next read, the element name is "Puppies" and puppyCount is correctly set to 4.
But then it seems to skip over "Kittens" and go directly to the inner XML. What should I be doing?
EDIT: XmlReader is faster than other .NET parsers, but my files are small enough that it's probably not a benefit. Joe Ferner's tests. EDIT 2: There's a reader positioning problem in the original code.

How would I extract the 'abc' and 'xyz' into two separate strings?This is what I have tried to do so far:
If (operation.Contains("(")) Then
