How to get the data in table cell using selenium webdriver in Java?

Selenium webdriver provides one method called - getText() which can be used to read the innertext of any web element not just table cell in Selenium Webdriver in Java.

String actualValue = c.getText();
above code will return the data displayed in cell c in selenium webdriver.

Full example in Java with selenium webdriver

package temp;

import org.openqa.selenium.By;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.Select;

public class first {

public static void main(String[] args) {

              // TODO Auto-generated method stub

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "C:\\Selenuim\\chromedriver2.3.exe");

WebDriver driver =  new ChromeDriver();

try{

driver.get("http://register.rediff.com/register/register.php");

Thread.sleep(2000);

WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.tagName("td"));

String actualValue = e.getText();

       System.out.println("Text displayed in the first td -> " + actualValue);

      

Thread.sleep(2000);

}

catch(Exception ex){

       System.out.println("Exception " + ex.getMessage());

              }

              finally{

                    

                     driver.close();

                     driver.quit();

              }

       }
