How to get text from each cell of an HTML table using Selenium?

We can get text from each cell of an HTML table with Selenium webdriver.A <table> tag is used to define a table in an html document. A table consists of rows represented by <tr> and columns represented by <td>. The table headers are identified by <th> tag.

Let us consider a table from which we will get text from each cell.

Let us see the html code representation for the above table−

To retrieve the rows count of the table, we will use−

List<WebElement> rows =driver.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));

int rws_cnt= rows.size();

To retrieve the columns count of the table, we will use−

List<WebElement> cols =driver.findElements(By.tagName("td"));

int cols_cnt= cols.size();

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit; public class TableCellValue{    public static void main(String[] args) { System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");          WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();          String u="https://sqengineer.com/practice-sites/practice-tables-selenium/";          driver.get(u);          driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);          // identify table          WebElement t = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='table1']/tbody"));          // count rows with size() method          List<WebElement> rws = t.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));          int rws_cnt = rws.size();          //iterate rows of table          for (int i = 0;i < rws_cnt; i++) {          // count columns with size() method          List<WebElement> cols = rws.get(i).findElements(By.tagName("td"));          int cols_cnt = cols.size();          //iterate cols of table          for (int j = 0;j < cols_cnt; j++) {          // get cell text with getText()          String c = cols.get(j).getText();       System.out.println("The cell value is: " + c);    } }       driver.quit();    } }

Output
