Thanks!
I was also able to extract the needed value with the code below:
testArrow :: IOSArrow XmlTree XmlTree
testArrow =
deep (isElem >>> hasName "table" )
>>>
deep (isElem >>> hasName "tr")
>>>
(deep isText >>> hasText (=="a"))
`guards`
(getChildren >>> getChildren >>> isText)

Can someone please help me with getting the value of the table cell with HXT in the following html:
<table class="tblc"> <tr> <td class="tdc">x</td> <td>y</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tdc">a</td> <td>b</td> </tr> </table>
I need the value of the second cell in a row that has first cell with some predefined value (in the example above it can be x or a) I need the arrow of the type (IOSArrow XmlTree String) How to write it?
import Text.XML.HXT.Core
main = do rs <- runX (readDocument [] "example.xml" >>> example "x") mapM_ putStrLn rs
-- example "blah" reports those 2nd columns such that -- their 1st columns equal "blah" example :: String -> IOSArrow XmlTree String example s = deep (is "table" /> is "tr" >>> listA (getChildren >>> is "td" /> getText) >>> arrL get2nd ) where get2nd (one:two:_) | one==s = [two] get2nd _ = []
is x = isElem >>> hasName x
The important part is using listA at the right point to extract the list of cells (belonging to the same row) so that with a list in your hand you can test the 1st item and find the 2nd item.
