The Website is: http://www.nationsta...gi?q=newnations
I don't know how to load the Information into my program and then I have to use that to go to nationstates.net/nation={the value} and use the "HTMLTextareaELEMENT.value to be a var/string... I then need to be able to virtually click the "Submit" button...I know this is asking a lot but any help...well...helps

Uhm, are those real values in the comma separated value? How is "german_pancakes" and "newistan" real countries?

Anywho, just use Linq to Xml to parse the XML and then split the value of node NEWNATIONS using string.Split or Regex.Split functions. Regarding pressing the submit button you ought to use javascript for that part as you need to do it client-side rather than server-side.

More information would be useful...

Stupidest. API. Ever. CSV within XML? Friggin' retarded.

[SubConcussive]

thank you...I agree...i think...you didn't just call me retarded right?

[JackOfAllTrades]

Not unless you wrote the API.

What's more amazing is that it was apparently changed from a more reasonable output (considering the use of XML) here: http://www.nationsta...gi?newnations=1 to the latest CSV within XML abomination. And...the rest of it is OK. Weird. Maybe some specific reason for it, but it just seems bizarre to me.

Erm...I can't find anything on how to load up the script itself from the C# project...

So This is literally how far I've gotten

 using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
namespace AutoRec
{


    class Program
    {
        
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            XDocument xmlDoc = Xdocument.Load("http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/api.cgi?newnations=1");
            

            

        }

    }
}

what am I supposed to do now? I've truthfully never used xml from online or used this method...always just used the import feature in VS
