How to convert an HTML table to an array in python
- by user345660
I have an html document, and I want to pull the tables out of this document and return them as arrays. I'm picturing 2 functions, one that finds all the html tables in a document, and a second one that turns html tables into 2-dimensional arrays.
Something like this:
htmltables = get_tables(htmldocument)
for table in htmltables:
array=make_array(table)
There's 2 catches:
1. The number tables varies day to day
2. The tables have all kinds of weird extra formatting, like bold and blink tags, randomly thrown in.
Thanks!
