    </meanings>

I try to get,

ant-test1,test2,test3
cat-test4

as the output.

But I got errors.
How to solve the problem.
THANK YOU!

What I have tried:

VB

Dim i As Integer
        Dim output  as string=""
        Dim xl As String
        Dim ac As XmlDocument = Nothing
        Dim xn As XmlNodeList
        Dim [FileStream] As New FileStream(enSinDicPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)
        [XmlDocument].Load([FileStream])
        [XmlNodeList] = [XmlDocument].GetElementsByTagName("EnSinDic")

        For i = 0 To [XmlNodeList].Count - 1
            [XmlNodeList](i).ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText.Trim()

            For Each word In words
                If [XmlNodeList](i).ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText.ToLower = word.ToLower Then
                    xl = [XmlNodeList](i).InnerXml
                    ac.Load(xl)
                    xn = ac.GetElementsByTagName("meanings")
                    For q = 0 To xn.Count - 1
                       output = output & Environment.NewLine & xn(i).ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText.ToLower
                    Next
                End If
            Next
        Next
    End Sub

You need to tell us what the errors are

Nope! It is unlikely anyone will go through your code and try to figure out how to make it do what you want.

The obvious problem is that you call GetElementsByTagName("EnSinDic"), whereas the XML document you've shown contains no such element.

Beyond that, you need to tell us what the errors are.

Click the green "Improve question" link and update your question to add the full details of the errors. Remember to indicate which line of code they relate to.

Check this:

C#

string xcontent = @"<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?>
<EnDic11>
  <EnDic>
    <word>ant</word>
    <meanings>
      <meaning>test1</meaning>
      <meaning>test2</meaning>
      <meaning>test3</meaning>
          </meanings>
  </EnDic>
  <EnDic>
    <word>cat</word>
    <meanings>
      <meaning>test4</meaning>
    </meanings>
  </EnDic>
 </EnDic11>";
 
 
 XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Parse(xcontent);
 
 var result = xdoc.Descendants("EnDic")
 	.Select(x=>string.Concat(x.Element("word").Value, "-", string.Join(",", x.Descendants("meaning").Select(y=>y.Value))))
	.ToList();

result:

ant-test1,test2,test3 
cat-test4
