When there is a compound table inside an html file how can one count the rows of the parent table.
What I mean by a compound table; a table in which other tables are contained within some of its cells.
Here is my attempt at coding. Note I receive an incorrect values:
String htmlFile = "C:/Temp/Test_13.html";
HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(htmlFile);
HtmlNodeCollection tables = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table");
HtmlNodeCollection rows = tables[1].SelectNodes(".//tr");
Console.WriteLine(" Rows in second (Parent) table: " + rows.Count());
Please indicate which namespace is used in your answer.
Here is a representative sample file:
<html>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Apps</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Offcie Web Apps</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br/>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Application</td>
<td>Status</td>
<td>Instances</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PowerPoint</td>
<td>Online</td>
<td>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Server1</td>
<td>Online</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Server2</td>
<td>Disabled</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Word</td>
<td>Online</td>
<td>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Server1</td>
<td>Online</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Server2</td>
<td>Disabled</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Thank you.

You can push each <table> and <tr> to the stack and when you encounter </table> - pop until the table is popped from the stack.
