[cob007 19]

how do i directly scrape table from xpath expression

 

currently it is possible in ubot via scrape table and also exbrowser is using scrape table xbrowser

 

but say im using http post and i am scraping table, then how do i use scrape table command to directly scrape to a table?

Think you're out of luck on that one. Scrape to list then add to table. If there's a way other than that I'd also love to know.

i think each column of table needs to be scraped to a list?

Grab the containers (for example the table rows) and then loop through them. Scraping columns can work, but if a cell is empty it will mess up the table structure unless you account for it.

xpath to scrape the table 
 

https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

 

 

//div[@class=w3-white w3-padding notranslate w3-padding-16]

or use "document text" to get html source, and then regex to get the table value


 

regex
(?<=\<table\ id\=\"customers\"\>)(.|\n)*?(?=\<\/table\>)

 

<table id="customers">   <tr>   <th>Company</th>   <th>Contact</th>   <th>Country</th>   </tr>   <tr>   <td>Alfreds Futterkiste</td>   <td>Maria Anders</td>   <td>Germany</td>   </tr>   <tr>   <td>Centro comercial Moctezuma</td>   <td>Francisco Chang</td>   <td>Mexico</td>   </tr>   <tr>   <td>Ernst Handel</td>   <td>Roland Mendel</td>   <td>Austria</td>   </tr>   <tr>   <td>Island Trading</td>   <td>Helen Bennett</td>   <td>UK</td>   </tr>   <tr>   <td>Laughing Bacchus Winecellars</td>   <td>Yoshi Tannamuri</td>   <td>Canada</td>   </tr>   <tr>   <td>Magazzini Alimentari Riuniti</td>   <td>Giovanni Rovelli</td>   <td>Italy</td>   </tr>   </table>
