Jsoup parse html-string
Question
I have this Element :
<td id="color" align="center">
Z 29.02-23.05 someText,
<br>
some.Text2 <a href="man.php?id=111">J. Smith</a> (l.)
</td>
How do I get the text after the tag <br> , to look like some.Text2 J. Smith I tried to find answer in the documentation, but ...
update
If i use
System.out.println(element.select("a").text());
i get just only J. Smith. . Unfortunately, I don't know how to parse tags like <br>

Node.childNodes could save your life:
package com.github.davidepastore.stackoverflow35436825;
import java.util.List;
import org.jsoup.Jsoup;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;
import org.jsoup.nodes.Node;
import org.jsoup.nodes.TextNode;
/**
* Stackoverflow 35436825

*/
public class App
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
String html = "<html><body><table><tr><td id=\"color\" align=\"center\">" +
"Z 29.02-23.05 someText," +
"<br>" +
"some.Text2 <a href=\"man.php?id=111\">J. Smith</a> (l.) " +
"</td></tr></table></body></html>";
Document doc = Jsoup.parse( html );
Element td = doc.getElementById( "color" );
String text = getText( td );
System.out.println("Text: " + text);
}
/**
* Get the custom text from the given {@link Element}.
* @param element The {@link Element} from which get the custom text.
* @return Returns the custom text.
*/
private static String getText(Element element) {
String working = "";
List<Node> childNodes = element.childNodes();
boolean brFound = false;
for (int i = 0; i < childNodes.size(); i++) {
Node child = childNodes.get( i );
if (child instanceof TextNode) {
if(brFound){
working += ((TextNode) child).text();
}
}
if (child instanceof Element) {
Element childElement = (Element)child;
if(brFound){
working += childElement.text();
}
if(childElement.tagName().equals( "br" )){
brFound = true;
}
}
}
return working;
}
}
The output will be:
Text: some.Text2 J. Smith (l.)

As far as I know you can only receive the text between two tags, which is not possible with a single <br/> tag in your document.
The only option I can think of is to use split() in order to receive the second part:
String partAfterBr = element.text().split("<br>")[1];
Document relevantPart = JSoup.parse(partAfterBr);
// do whatever you want with the Document in order to receive the necessary parts
