I have a string which contains the source code of a html
file extracted through mechanize
library. The html
file will always contain a table like this. I want to convert the table to CSV Format
.
Several SO questions which address the same problem have the table with a class name. But my table doesnt have a class attribute. So what should i do...?
<table border=1 cellPadding="2" cellSpacing="0" width="75%" bordercolor="#000000" >
<tr bgcolor="mediumblue">
<td width="20%"><p align="center"><font face="Arial" color="white" size="2"><strong>SUB CODE</strong></font></p></td>
<td width="26%"><p align="left"><font face="Arial" color="white" size="2"><strong>SUB NAME</strong></font></p></td>
<td width="13%"><p align="left"><font face="Arial" color="white" size="2"><strong>THEORY</strong></font></p> </td>
<td width="10%"><p align="left"><font face="Arial" color="white" size="2"><strong>PRACTICAL</strong></font></p> </td>
<td width="17%"><p align="left"><font face="Arial" color="white" size="2"><strong>MARKS</strong></font></p></td>
<td width="14%"><p align="center"><font face="Arial" color="white" size="2"><strong>GRADE</strong></font></p></td>
</tr>
<tr bgColor="#ffffff">
<td align="middle"><font face="Arial" size=2> 301</font></td>
<td align="left" ><font face="Arial" size=2>ENGLISH CORE</font></td>
<td align="left" ><font face="Arial" size=2>067</font></td>
<td align="left" ><font face="Arial" size=2></font></td>
<td align="left" ><font face="Arial" size=2>067 </font></td>
<td align="middle"><font face="Arial" size=2>C2</font></td>

pandas has a neat way to read html tables .
import pandas as pd
html_data = '''
<table border=1 cellPadding="2" cellSpacing="0" width="75%" bordercolor="#000000" >

When where's multiple tables in html, you can check column names of the table, to remove unneeded ones.
