There is an example of that in the discussion forums here. Scroll down a bit to see the table answer. I do wish they would provide better samples that were easier to find.
EDIT:
To extract data from specific columns you would have to first find the <th>
tags that correspond to the columns you want and remember their indexes. You would then need to find the <td>
tags for the same indexes. Assuming you know the indexes of the columns you could do something like this:
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml("http://somewhere.com");
HtmlNode table = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//table");
foreach (var row in table.SelectNodes("//tr"))
{
HtmlNode addressNode = row.SelectSingleNode("td[2]");
//do something with address here
HtmlNode phoneNode = row.SelectSingleNode("td[5]");
// do something with phone here
}
Edit2:
If you don't know the indexes of the columns you could do the whole thing like this. I have not tested this.
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml("http://somewhere.com");
var tables = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table");
foreach(var table in tables)
{
int addressIndex = -1;
int phoneIndex = -1;
var headers = table.SelectNodes("//th");
for (int headerIndex = 0; headerIndex < headers.Count(); headerIndex++)
{
if (headers[headerIndex].InnerText == "address")
{
addressIndex = headerIndex;
}
else if (headers[headerIndex].InnerText == "phone")
{
phoneIndex = headerIndex;
}
}
if (addressIndex != -1 && phoneIndex != -1)
{
foreach (var row in table.SelectNodes("//tr"))
{
HtmlNode addressNode = row.SelectSingleNode("td[addressIndex]");
//do something with address here
HtmlNode phoneNode = row.SelectSingleNode("td[phoneIndex]");
// do something with phone here
}
}
}
