I'm learning C# by taking some Udemy courses and I'm working on refactoring some code for one of the exercises (which I'm sure is terrible, I'm a complete newbie). In this case I'd like to make this method into a more reusable "LoadFromFile". The only thing that would change is the way that the string[] ingredientNumbersAsStringsFromRecipe gets built based on the fileFormat enum that's passed to it (for a text file it would just be string.Split for example. However I can't put an "if" statement in there because if I initiatilze the string[] in the "if" block then I can't use it outside of that local scope. I would appreciate any tips on how this could be better handled! (By the way I know that in general I should use int.TryParse, in this case this program is making the same file that it reads from so int.Parse is safe.)

public static List<Recipe> LoadFromJson(string fileName, FileFormats fileFormat, List<Ingredient> availableIngredients)
{
    string[] recipeStringList = File.ReadAllLines(fileName);
    List<Recipe> recipeList = new List<Recipe>();
    foreach (string recipe in recipeStringList)
    {
        string[] ingredientNumbersAsStringsFromRecipe = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<string>(recipe).Split(',');
        List<int> ingredientNumbersAsIntsFromRecipe = new List<int>();
        foreach (string x in ingredientNumbersAsStringsFromRecipe)
        {
            ingredientNumbersAsIntsFromRecipe.Add(int.Parse(x));
        }
        Recipe loadedRecipe = new Recipe();
        foreach (int ingredient in ingredientNumbersAsIntsFromRecipe)
        {
            loadedRecipe.IngredientsInRecipe.Add(availableIngredients[availableIngredients.FindIndex(x => x.Id == ingredient)]);
        }
        recipeList.Add(loadedRecipe);
    }
    return recipeList;

}

I tried a USB-C hub off of Amazon which supports 4K @ 60 hz via HDMI. But I couldn't get it to output at 3440 x 1440 until I dropped it to 30 hz. I guess there's some sort of down conversion it does that affects the framerate it can handle. Does anyone know of a USB-C hub that supports 3440 x 1440 at 60 hz?
