如何从JSoup'Document'中删除不间断的空格？

Question

How can I remove these:

<td>&nbsp;</td>

or

<td width="7%">&nbsp;</td>

from my JSoup 'Document'? I've tried many methods, but these non-breaking space characters do not match anything with normal JSoup expressions or Selectors.

The HTML entity   ( Unicode character NO-BREAK SPACE U+00A0 ) can in Java be represented by the character \  . Assuming that you want to remove every element which contains that character as own text (and thus not every line as you said in a comment), then the following ought to work:

document.select(":containsOwn(\u00a0)").remove();

If you really mean to remove the entire line then your best bet is really to scan HTML yourself line by line.
