Question

I need an algorithm that calls only text in a row.

My td consists of numbers and text, I want only text in my “td”.

Demo : http://jsfiddle.net/3yYFY/1

For example:

in second row = accure, alligator, badger

in third row = Zebra, Elephant

There is a lot of rows(td) in my table and the text is not located in a specific column

HTML :

    <table id="docsTable">
    <tr bgcolor="#E7DDCC" class="liste-0">
        <td align="center"><input type="checkbox"/></td>
        <td>Document Title 1</td>
        <td>567</td>
    </tr>
    <tr bgcolor="#E7DDCC">
        <td align="center"><input type="checkbox"/></td>
        <td>accure</td>
        <td>134</td>
        <td>alligator</td>
        <td>badger</td>
    </tr>
    <tr bgcolor="#E7DDCC">
        <td align="center"><input type="checkbox"/></td>
        <td>Zebra</td>
        <td>231</td>
        <td>Elephant</td>
    </tr>
</table>
<input type='button' id='btnTest' value='Get Rows' />

jQuery :

$(function() {
    $('#btnTest').click(function() {
        var arr = $('#docsTable tr').has('input[type="checkbox"]:checked').map(function() {
            alert($('td:eq(1)', this).text())
        });

    });
});​

Final UPDATE:

Use this: http://jsfiddle.net/uJdj9/2/

$(function() {
    $('#btnTest').click(function() {
        var arr = $('#docsTable tr').has('input[type="checkbox"]:checked').map(function() {
            var text = "";
            $(this).find('td').each(function(){
                var txt = $(this).text();
                if(txt && !txt.match(/\d/g))
                  text += txt + ', ';
            })
            text = text.replace(/,([^,]*)$/,'');
            alert(text);
        });

    });
});​

Or like that if you know wich td to discard:

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/uJdj9/

  $(function() {
    $('#btnTest').click(function() {
        var arr = $('#docsTable tr').has('input[type="checkbox"]:checked').map(function() {
            var text = "";
            $('td',this).not(':eq(2)').each(function(){
                text += $(this).text()?$(this).text() +', ':'';
            })
            alert(text);
        });

  });
});​
