using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
namespace Task3
{
class TextFileReader
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String strn=" ", strsn=String.Empty;
XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader("my.xml");
while (reader.Read())
{
switch (reader.NodeType)
{
case XmlNodeType.Element: // The node is an element.
if (reader.HasAttributes)
{
strn = reader.GetAttribute(0);
strsn = reader.GetAttribute(1);
int counter = 0;
string line;
// Read the file and display it line by line.
System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader("read_file.txt");
string ch, ch1;
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
if (line.Substring(0, 1).Equals("%"))
{
int a = line.IndexOf('%');
int b = line.LastIndexOf('%');
ch = line.Substring(a + 1, b - 1);
ch1 = line.Substring(a, b+1);
if (ch == "name")
{
string test = line.Replace(ch1, strn);
Console.WriteLine(test);
}
else if (ch == "sirname")
{
string test = line.Replace(ch1, strsn);
Console.WriteLine(test);
}
}
else
