Get the value of a specific part of a div using agilityhtml

Question

I am trying to get the value of a div using agilitypack.my html code is like this :

<div class="div_5">
                <p>First Paragraph</p>
                <p>Second Paragraph</p>
                <p>Third Paragraph</p>
                <p>Fourth Paragraph</p>

<div class="div_6">
                <p>First Paragraph</p>
                <p>Second Paragraph</p>
                <p>Third Paragraph</p>
                <p>Fourth Paragraph</p>
     </div>
                <p>other Paragraph</p>
                <p>other Paragraph</p>
  </div>

I need the content of div_5 without the content of div_6,so i use this code :

    newsContent.Content = resultat1.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='div_5']").InnerHtml;

But this code contains div_5 and div_6.how can i remove div_6 from my value ?

final code:

HtmlNode doc = resultat1.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='div_5']");
                    HtmlNode node = doc.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='div_6']");
                    node.ParentNode.RemoveChild(node);

Ah, now you got RemoveChild() function. Glad to see it solved :) – Vishnu Prasad V Jan 22 '16 at 05:07

Remove the innernode first and then proceed.

var yourNode = resultat1.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='div_5']")
var toBeRemoved = resultat1.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode ("//div[@class='_div_6']");

yourNode.RemoveChild(toBeRemoved,false);
//proceed with your code
newsContent.Content = yourNode.InnerHtml;

your RemoveChild doesn't exist in the function – Ehsan Akbar Jan 20 '16 at 14:52
It does exist in v1.4.0. What version of `HtmlAgilityPack` you're using? See the implementation for the `RemoveChild` function in the source code for 1.4.0 release http://htmlagilitypack.codeplex.com/SourceControl/latest#Release/1_4_0/HtmlAgilityPack/HtmlNode.cs – Vishnu Prasad V Jan 20 '16 at 15:06

I've never used AgilityHTML, but try something along these lines:

var div5 = resultat1.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='div_5']");

var div6 = div5.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//div[@class='div_6']");

div6.Remove();

newsContent.Content = div5.InnerHtml;
