Selenium is a popular open-source web automation tool. It enables you to automate web-based tasks such as filling in web forms, clicking on links, and verifying the results. Selenium can be used with many popular programming languages, including Java, C#, Python, and Ruby.
One of the powerful features of Selenium is its ability to handle dynamic web tables. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Selenium to automate the task of extracting data from a dynamic web table.
The first step is to create a Selenium script that can navigate to the web table. In our example, we will use the table located at
Once you have navigated to the web table, you can use the “findElement” method to locate the table element. You can then use the “getText” method to extract the data from the table.
Here is an example Selenium script that extracts the data from the NASA web table:
driver.navigate().to(”
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“table”))
.click();
String data = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(“td:nth-child(2) a”)).getText();
System.out.println(data);
The script will first navigate to the NASA web table. It will then locate the table element and click on it. Finally, it will extract the data from the table and print it to the console.
You can also use Selenium to extract data from a dynamic web table in Excel. In our example, we will use the table located at
The first step is to open the Excel file in Selenium. You can do this by using the “File” method.
File file = new File(“C:\Users\username\Desktop\ssd_table_v
