I want to show the <break> tags that have duplicate values. I have achieved that and I am using the following method:

var breaknameduplicate = xdoc.Descendants("sec").Descendants("break")
    .GroupBy(n => n.Attribute("name").Value.Trim()).ToList()
    .Where(g => g.Count() > 1)
    .Select(g => new { Name = g.Key, count = g.Count() })
    .ToList();

string s = string.Join(Environment.NewLine, breaknameduplicate.Select(x => "<break name=\"" + x.Name + "\"/> - " + x.count + " times."));

if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(s))
{
    MessageBox.Show(s);
}

Now, what I want is that I want to show the <sec> as well for the <break> .

<break name="1-1"> - 2 times in sections 1 and 2.

Presently, I am able to show only the number of times a value has been repeated but I want to be more precise with the output.

Please help.

Regards

Answer 1

You can use this code:

  var xDoc = XDocument.Load(@"path to the file");
  var grouped = xDoc.Descendants("sec")
    .GroupBy(e => e.Descendants("break").First().Attribute("name").Value.Trim())
    .Select(g => $"<break name = \"{g.Key}\"> - {g.Count()} time(s) in section(s) {string.Join(",", g.Select(e => e.Attribute("name").Value))}")
    .ToList();

Answer 2

Naive Approach to get the sec s

var breaknameduplicate = xdoc.Descendants("sec").Descendants("break")
    .GroupBy(n => n.Attribute("name").Value.Trim()).ToList()
    .Where(g => g.Count() > 1)
    .Select(g => new { Name = g.Key, count = g.Count(), Sections = g.Select(e => e.Ancestors("sec").FirstOrDefault()).ToList() })
    .ToList();

EDIT: To get the titles:

var breaknameduplicate = xdoc.Descendants("sec").Descendants("break")
    .GroupBy(n => n.Attribute("name").Value.Trim()).ToList()
    .Where(g => g.Count() > 1)
    .Select(g => new { Name = g.Key, count = g.Count(), 
        Sections = g.Select(e => e.Ancestors("sec")
                                 ?.Elements("title")
                                 ?.FirstOrDefault()
                                 ?.Value)
                          .ToList() 
                      })
    .ToList();
