</body>
for this data:
so far i have this:
foreach (var row in htmlSnippet.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table[@class = 'style_15']/tbody/tr"))
{
foreach (var cell in row.SelectNodes("div[@class='*']"))
{
textBox1.Text = cell.InnerHtml.ToString();
}
}
however i am not returning anything!
this line is working:
//table[@class = 'style_15']/tbody/tr
but this does not return anthing:
("div[@class='*']"))
please let me know what i am doing wrong! i need help returning every piece of data as shown in the image (except for the field names)
You probably want simply
div[@class]—adivelement that has aclassattribute.Oh, it’s also worth noting that the HTML/XML sample you provided is not well-formed. I had to remove all the
colelements, and close thebrelements. Maybe, for C#, that’s an issue… I know it is for XSL in general… not sure about XPath.I don’t have time to code up a C# example, but here’s a simple XSL:
I get this output:
This is just an intermediate output to show that the XPath is working correctly.
Hope this helps.
