how to parse a table from HTML using jsoup

Question

<td width="10"></td> <td width="65"><img src="/images/sparks/NIFTY.png" /></td>  <td width="65">5,390.85</td> <td width="65">5,428.15</td> <td width="65">5,376.15</td> <td width="65">5,413.85</td> 

This is the HTML source from which i have to extract the values 5390.85,5428.15 , 5376.15 , 5413.85. I wanted to do this using jsoup. But i am relatively new to jsoup( today i started using it). So how should i do this?

URL url = new URL("http://www.nseindia.com/content/equities/niftysparks.htm"); Document doc = Jsoup.parse(url,3*1000); String text = doc.body().text(); 

I have already extracted the content of the website using jsoup. but how to extract the values i require? Thanks in advance

Try something like this:-

URL url = new URL("http://www.nseindia.com/content/equities/niftysparks.htm"); Document doc = Jsoup.parse(url, 3000);  Element table = doc.select("table[class=niftyd]").first();  Iterator<Element> ite = table.select("td[width=65]").iterator();  ite.next(); // first one is image, skip it  System.out.println("Value 1: " + ite.next().text()); System.out.println("Value 2: " + ite.next().text()); System.out.println("Value 3: " + ite.next().text()); System.out.println("Value 4: " + ite.next().text()); 

Here's the printout:-

Value 1: 5,390.85 Value 2: 5,428.15 Value 3: 5,376.15 Value 4: 5,413.85
