Is it possible to convert responsive table to CSV or Excel ?
Made IIFE Responsive2CSV.js which works almost perfect on a page I want to convert frequently.
Wanted list marked by blue lines here (not all levels have different border).
It is based on my similar Convert pdf to html files ... answer.
Is there any better or general way to convert recursive responsive elements to simplest human readable matrix(-s) ?
It would be better to keep master blocks together, but how to estimate main parent of a block - somewhere there is DIV with 2 line DIVs inside, all the time a lot of recursive DIVs around...
My IIFE processing logic:
- traverse all text elements, move to parent as long as there is only child, continue as long as innerText is same (sometimes there are hidden parts) and create unique list.
- if next element top = previous bottom merge them with new line between
- sort the list 2D (by Y, if Y difference <= 1px by X), compare center of boxes.
- create TAB/LF separated list, if x < previous X or y > previous Y break line else break column by TAB
