Return field from List of string[] in C# Linq

Question

I have a List of strings[].

I want to use Linq to return one field of the string[] from the List<>.

Currently I am doing this:

string[] Cashrow = ParsedSales.First(x=>x.Contains("CALC CASH"));
double Cash= Convert.ToDouble(Cashrow[1]); 

which works just fine. My question is if it is possible to write this in a single statement?

I would like a LINQ query that returns the individual field rather than the row.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Sure, instead of getting the first, compose the query with a Where and a Select :

double cash = ParsedSales
    .Where(x => x.Contains("CALC CASH"));
    .Select(x => Convert.ToDouble(x[1]))
    .First();
