If you're referring to showing the text up to the 2nd new line escape
character, "\n", then perhaps something similar to this:
//assuming you're placing each row's returned text into a string; str
//string str;
int i = str.IndexOf(Environment.NewLine); // find 1st newline
int i = str.IndexOf(Environment.NewLine, i+1); // fine 2nd newline
str = str.Substring(0, i); // return text from start to 2nd newline
There may be a better way of finding the 2nd instance of the
Environment.NewLine or "\n" but it's 3:26 am here and I'm a bit
sleepy. Let me know if this is similar to what you're looking for. I'm
sure this is by far not the best solution. Også, I may just not be
understanding clearly your question.
