Find and replace the value of node type that is Text

[ryu]

Hi all,

I have a xml document where I have to replace the value of node type that is
text.
For example,

if the value of a node whose type is 'text' is 'Toyota', I would like it to
be replaced with 'Honda'.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks

Sure
textNode.Value = "Honda"
or
textNode.Data = "Honda"

But how do you iterate the series of nodes to find Honda? If I use a reader
as XmlTextReader , the reader's value property wouldn't allow me to set. If
I load the xml into a XmlDocument, I dont see any methods that will iterate
the series of nodes. Please advice.

In the DOM as implemented by XmlDocument a text node is always a child
node of an element node so you could use GetElementsByTagName to find
the elements you are looking for to contain the text.
Or you can use XPath e.g.
XmlNodeList nodeList =
xmlDocument.SelectNodes("//text()[. = 'Toyota']");
foreach (XmlNode node in nodeList) {
nodeList.Value = "Honda";
}

That should solve the problem. Thanks!
