How to parse value from a table using jsoup?

Question

<table class="local_table nbu_rate">
    <tr>
        <th>Currency</th>
    <th class="align_left">Name</th>
        <th class="width_25">Course</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>USD</td>
        <td class="align_left">USD</td>
        <td>11.2416</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>EUR</td>
        <td class="align_left">Euro</td>
        <td>15.5078</td>
    </tr>
    </table>

How I can parse value from table. For example 11.24? I tried do this:

        try {
            doc = Jsoup.parse(url, 3000);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        Element table = doc.select("table[class=local_table nbu_rate]").first();

        Iterator<Element> ite = table.select("td[USD]").iterator();

        System.out.println("Value 1: " + ite.next().text());

But my program is crashed. Log:

Answer 1

The problem lies with

Element table = doc.select("table[class=local_table nbu_rate]").first();

Note that css selectors for class names include the dot .. Your selector should be

Element table = doc.select("table.local_table.nbu_rate").first();

Alternatively, only one class should do:

Element table = doc.select("table.local_table").first();

Edit:

Your second issue seems to be is with

Iterator<Element> ite = table.select("td[USD]").iterator();

The css selector "td[USD]" will look for a <td> element with an attribute called USD. This does not exist. You need to adapt your selector. USD is the inner HTML, not an attribute.

I guess you need to read the 3rd <td> to get the number value. However, to be meaningful you probably need to know the currency too...
