How to get text from each cell of an HTML table?

Question

In Selenium 2.0, I have no idea how to traverse through a HTML table in a webpage. In selenium2.0 javadoc, I found two classes "TableFinder" and "TableCellFinder", but I couldn't find any examples.

I want to do something like this:

RowCount=Get how many rows are there in the html table  for each row of the table {    column_count=Get column count    for each column    {       cell_value=get_text_from(row,col);       Do something with cell_value    } } 

How can I get the text from each of the table cells?

Thanks for the earlier reply.

I figured out the solutions using selenium 2.0 classes.

import java.util.List;  import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.ie.InternetExplorerDriver;  public class WebTableExample  {     public static void main(String[] args)      {         WebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();         driver.get("http://localhost/test/test.html");                WebElement table_element = driver.findElement(By.id("testTable"));         List<WebElement> tr_collection=table_element.findElements(By.xpath("id('testTable')/tbody/tr"));          System.out.println("NUMBER OF ROWS IN THIS TABLE = "+tr_collection.size());         int row_num,col_num;         row_num=1;         for(WebElement trElement : tr_collection)         {             List<WebElement> td_collection=trElement.findElements(By.xpath("td"));             System.out.println("NUMBER OF COLUMNS="+td_collection.size());             col_num=1;             for(WebElement tdElement : td_collection)             {                 System.out.println("row # "+row_num+", col # "+col_num+ "text="+tdElement.getText());                 col_num++;             }             row_num++;         }      } }
