Question

I am parsing the tabular information from the html file with the help of the html agility pack.

Now I can do it and it works.

But when the table what I want to extract is inner most.

Or I don’t know at which position it is in nested tables.And there can be any number of nested tables and from that I want to extract the information of the table which has column name name,address.

Ex.

<table>
    <table>
           <tr><td>PHONE NO.</td><td>OTHER INFO.</td></tr>
           <tr><td>
              <table>
                 <tr><td>AMOUNT</td></tr>
                 <tr><td>50000</td></tr>
                 <tr><td>80000</td></tr>
              </table>
           </td></tr>
           <tr><td>
              <table>
                 <tr><td>
                     <table>
                         <tr><td>
                              <table>
                                 <tr><td> NAME </td><td>ADDRESS</td>
                                 <tr><td> ABC  </td><td> kfks   </td>
                                 <tr><td> BCD  </td><td> fdsa   </td>
                              </table>
                         </tr></td>
                     </table>
                 </td></tr>
              </table>
           </td></tr>
        </table>

There are many tables but I want to extract the table which has column name name,address.
So what should I do ?

var table = doc.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode("//table [not(descendant::table) and tr[1]/td[normalize-space()='ADDRESS'] ]");
