Parse Columns help needed

[Anonymous]

I am new to both Java and htmlparser. I need help on how to parse an HTML page so that I can extract text from SPECIFIC columns within a table. I need something that will get an html as below:

<tr>
    <td><b>First Column:&nbsp;</b>
    <ul>
        <li><a href="...">First</a></li>
        <li><a href="...">Second</a></li>
    </ul>&nbsp;
    </td>
     
    <td><b>Second Column:&nbsp;</b>
        <ul>
        <li><a href="...">extra1</a></li>
    </ul>&nbsp;
    </td>

    <td><b>Third Column:&nbsp;</b>
        <ul>
        <li><a href="...">Extra2</a></li>
    </ul>&nbsp;
    </td>
</tr>

...and produce only text from the lists under the column with text "First Column" and "Third Column" in the TD tags:

First
Second

Extra2

How can this be achieved?

Thank you.

You can get all tables using a filter:
    NodeList list = parser.extractAllNodesThatMatch (new TagNameFilter ("TABLE"));
    for (int i = 0; i < list.size (); i++)
        TableTag table = (TableTag)list.elementAt (i);

Once you have the table tag, you can get at the data by rows:
    TableRow[] rows = table.getRows ();
    for (int i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
    {
         TableColumn[] columns = rows[i].getColumns ();
         for (int j = 0; j < rows.length; j++)
             System.out.println (columns[j].toPlainTextString ());
    }
