Remove all object in a list with double quotes in C#

Question

I have a list that contains object with double quotes like this: " " (note the space between the quotes). I try to remove all those objects from the list but when I escape the quotes it still doesn't work.

The object is imported from a txt file as one string containing all information and then turned to an array which I export to a list to later use RemoveAll from.

Text txt file looks like this when I import it:

"" "Myadress 6" "151 33 City" ""

The imported result is stored in a string "importedData" and then I do like this to work with it:

string[] stringSeparators = new string[] { "\"" };
importedDataArray = importedData.Split(stringSeparators, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
var importedDataList = markupDataArray.ToList();
importedDataList.RemoveAll(item => item == "\" \"");

I'm interested to keep those objects that actually containing something, not the one with " ".

Right now the list contains 6 object of which 4 of them looks like " ".

Add simply a where clause condition in your line like that :

var importedDataList = markupDataArray
     .Where(p => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(item))
     .ToList();
