Parsing html with the HTML Agility Pack and Linq

Question

I have the following HTML

(..)

 
   Test1 
   Data 
  

        

Answer 1

As for your attempt, you have two issues with your code:

1. ChildNodes is weird - it also returns whitespace text nodes, which don't have a class attributes (can't have attributes, of course).
2. As James Walford commented, the spaces around the text are significant, you probably want to trim them.

With these two corrections, the following works:

var data =
      from tr in doc.DocumentNode.Descendants("tr")
      from td in tr.Descendants("td").Where(x => x.Attributes["class"].Value == "name")
     where td.InnerText.Trim() == "Test1"
    select tr;
