Hi,


I have tried out the example to extract contain from the table in a document.

I have documents which contain tables but I don’t know the number of tables inside the document and I want to extract content from the tables.

How to find the total number of tables inside the document so I can pass the index paramenter in the following statment dynamically i.e if 1 table then 0 ,if 2 tables then 1 so on…

This is for 1 table.
Table table = (Table) doc1.getChild(NodeType.TABLE, 0, true);

Please help me in this matter.

Hi Crimson,


Thanks for your inquiry. You can use the following statement to retrieve all tables in Word document:

NodeCollection tables = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true);

Hope, this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for yout reply.

I have used the following code and I have 3 tables in my document.

NodeCollection allTables = doc1.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true);
int tableIndex = allTables.indexOf(table);
System.out.println(tableIndex);

The output is:
0

The output should be 2 as index is 0 based.

Hi Crimson,


Thanks for your inquiry. When using the latest licensed version of Aspose.Words for Java 16.2.0, the following code correctly returns 3 tables in your document.

Document doc = new Document(getMyDir() + “testtable.doc”);
NodeCollection allTables = doc.getChildNodes(NodeType.TABLE, true);
System.out.println(allTables.getCount());

So, you can use a loop from 0 to 2 and get each table in “allTables” collection. If we can help you with anything else, please feel free to ask.

Best regards,
