Question
I have the following HTML:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="metadata_name">Headquarters</td>
<td class="metadata_content">Princeton New Jersey, United States</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="metadata_name">Industry</td>
<td class="metadata_content"><ul><li><a href="/q-Engineering-Software-jobs.html" rel="nofollow">Engineering Software</a></li><li><a href="/q-Software-Development-&-Design-jobs.html" rel="nofollow">Software Development & Design</a></li><li><a href="/q-Software-jobs.html" rel="nofollow">Software</a></li><li><a href="/q-Custom-Software-&-Technical-Consulting-jobs.html" rel="nofollow">Custom Software & Technical Consulting</a></li></ul></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="metadata_name">Revenue</td>
<td class="metadata_content">$17.5 Million</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="metadata_name">Employees</td>
<td class="metadata_content">201 to 500</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="metadata_name">Links</td>
<td class="metadata_content"><ul><li><a href="/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.site.com&h=085df2ca" target="_blank">Company website</a></li></ul></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
I want to be able to load the metadata_content value (ex "$17.5 Million") in to a var where the metadata_name is = to a value (ex: "Revenue").
I have tried to use combinations of code like this for a few hours...
orgHtml.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//td[@class='metadata_name']")[0].InnerHtml;
But I'm not getting the right combination down. If you have a helpful SelectNodes syntax - that will get me the solution I would appreciate it.
Accepted Answer
It seems what you're looking for is this:
var found = orgHtml.DocumentNode.SelectSingleNode(
"//tr[td[@class = 'metadata_name'] = 'Revenue']/td[@class = 'metadata_content']");
if (found != null)
{
string html = found.InnerHtml;
// use html
}
Note that to get the text of an element, you should use found.InnerText, not found.InnerHtml, unless you specifically need its HTML content.
