How to get text from each cell of an HTML table

Question

In Selenium 2 0  I have no idea how to traverse through a HTML table in a webpage   In selenium2 0 javadoc  I found two classes  TableFinder  and  TableCellFinder   but I couldn t find any examples   I want to do something like this   RowCount Get how many rows are there in the html table  for each row of the table      column count Get column count    for each column            cell value get text from row col         Do something with cell value          How can I get the text from each of the table cells

I have not used Selenium 2  Selenium 1 x has selenium getTable  tablename  columnNumber rowNumber  to reach the required cell  May be you can use webdriverbackedselenium and do this   And you can get the total rows and columns  by using  int numOfRows   selenium getXpathCount    table  id  tableid    tr    int numOfCols selenium getXpathCount    table  id  tableid    tr  td
