XML/RSS feeds

Question

so im loading an xml file from an rss feed into a datagrid, i
then want to do a search on the column to see if a specific word
comes before the next.
example: loads several items(strings of text) from the xml
file into the datagrid,
i need to select which item to search
and then have it tell me which word came first in that
string/item(eg. red, or blue)
i have it successfully loading the xml file and putting it in
the datagrid, i just cant figure out how to search specific items
and how to see which of those 2 words comes first in any given
item/string

Answer 1

Can you use indexOf() and then compare the indicies to see
which one is less.
if (string.indexOf("red") < string.indexOf("blue")) {
// red came first
} else {
// blue came first
Not sure if I understood your question completely, but
thought I would give it a shot.
