I did some searching and have not found a really concise and commented way to scrape a web page table in Chrome. Is there a library or a forum post out there that explains how to do it step by step? I found the-automator's webpage but I really don't want to have to use Selenium.
fyi - The pseudo code of what I'm trying to do is as follows:
1. launch chrome with a specific chrome profile <- know how to do this
2. open webpage and download it for scraping <- know how to do this
3. start to search the entire page for "searchPhrase"
4. highlight the text
5. get a dialogue box for a yes or no to download or not, options are y, n, or exit <- know how to do this
6. at first instance, open new tab, <- know how to do this
7. run some unique code
8. close the tab <- know how to do this
9. cycle through every remain instance of the searchPhrase and do the same minus the unique code <- know how to do this
10. close the tab <- know how to do this
11. at the exit decision close the tab with the table in it <- know how to do this
