Get table row data of only specific class

Post by uniadv » Tue Oct 06, 2020 6:55 am

Hi,

I usually extract the table row data by counting the number of rows first and then running loop up to the counted rows:

Code: Select all

ChromeFindElements>session_1,xpath,/html/body/div/table/tbody/tr,rows
let>n=0
repeat>n
let>n=n+1
  //......data fetch script.......//
until>n=rows_count
I have come-up with the case where data does not exist in each row of the table, few rows are described as heading with different class name within the table rows:

Table Code:

Code: Select all


<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="table-header">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
<tr class="heading-row">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
<tr class="heading-row">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
<tr class="data-row">...</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

here if i count the number of rows, it gives back the total number of rows including "table-header", "data-row" & "heading-row" which ultimately give the false data on running the loop.

Is there any way to get the data only from particular class, in this case data from "data-row" only?

Regards,
Ushahra
