Adding multiple strings to a listbox from text - vb.net

Question

I have a text file I need to get multiple strings from, I can sort of do it but it only shows the first string in the listbox
When we tried with XML reader it was collecting everything in the XML that was tagged Object Identifier along with the cameras
I need to look for lines similar to the following, there could be any amount
Object Identifier="./Cameras/MyCamera" Label="Standard Camera" Name="MyCamera" Type="Camera"
key identifiers:
./Cameras/
Label="Standard Camera"
Type="Camera"
I could use "MyCamera" after ./Cameras/ or Name="MyCamera" both of these are common in each occurrence of the lines
in my example below it has the file I wish to read it should list 3 cameras
https://www.dropbox.com/s/dy7r2auf9vv0m7g/testvb.zip
The XML is generated by Thea render, its the scene file with the model, lights etc taken out so it just leaves cameras and some core settings
Thanks to varocarbas, this is the code that solves my problem:
Dim path As String = "C:\Users\jen\Desktop\test\temp.xml"
Dim settings As System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings = New System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings()
settings.ConformanceLevel = System.Xml.ConformanceLevel.Fragment
Using reader As System.Xml.XmlReader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(path)
While (reader.Read())
If (reader.NodeType = System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Element) Then
If (reader.Name = "Object") Then
'Object Identifier="./Cameras/MyCamera" Label="Standard Camera" Name="MyCamera" Type="Camera"
Dim Identifier As String = reader.GetAttribute("Identifier") '"./Cameras/MyCamera"
Dim Label As String = reader.GetAttribute("Label") '"Standard Camera"
Dim Name As String = reader.GetAttribute("Name") '"MyCamera"
Dim Type As String = reader.GetAttribute("Type") '"Camera"
Dim wholeString As String = Name 'WHOLE STRING TO BE ADDED TO THE LISTBOX
'Adding the string to ListBox1
If (wholeString.Trim.Length > 0) And Type = "Camera" Then
ListBox1.Items.Add(wholeString)
End If
End If
End If
End While
End Using

You can use the XMLReader I proposed in another answer and do the following modifications on it:
Dim path As String = "temp.txt"
Dim settings As System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings = New System.Xml.XmlReaderSettings()
settings.ConformanceLevel = System.Xml.ConformanceLevel.Fragment
Using reader As System.Xml.XmlReader = System.Xml.XmlReader.Create(path)
While (reader.Read())
If (reader.NodeType = System.Xml.XmlNodeType.Element) Then
If (reader.Name = "Object") Then
'Object Identifier="./Cameras/MyCamera" Label="Standard Camera" Name="MyCamera" Type="Camera"
Dim Identifier As String = reader.GetAttribute("Identifier") '"./Cameras/MyCamera"
Dim Label As String = reader.GetAttribute("Label") '"Standard Camera"
Dim Name As String = reader.GetAttribute("Name") '"MyCamera"
Dim Type As String = reader.GetAttribute("Type") '"Camera"
Dim wholeString As String = Identifier & " - " & Label & " - " & Name & " - " & Type 'WHOLE STRING TO BE ADDED TO THE LISTBOX
'Adding the string to ListBox1
If (wholeString.Trim.Length > 0) Then
ListBox1.Items.Add(wholeString)
End If
End If
End If
End While
End Using
This code retrieves all the information you want and stores it in LisBox1 by putting " - " to separate each element. This is information more than enough and you should be the one performing any further change, for example: converting "./Cameras/MyCamera" into "./Cameras/" (there is an indication of how to do that in my previous code); or change the way the different items are displayed in the listBox (or perhaps you want to include one listBox per element: one for identifiers, another for labels, etc.).
