I am looking for a free tool that can convert HTML tables into CSV files. It should be able to do this with all HTML files of a given local directory or by a set of URLs.

  • It should run on Windows 7.
  • Free (open or closed source).
  • Console program or GUI. It should be easy to use.
  • Should be usuable without any additional programming.
  • It should ignore everything and only look for tables.

  • Not a batch solution, but at least it will speed up the manual process (if it's a one time thing): addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/export-to-csv You could have a batch script open the files in your browser one by one, but you'd still need several clicks per file.

    Is the HTML well formed? HTML 5 or 4?

  • I do not know if it was well formed. But at least the table code was. I ended up writing a small C# console application working with LINQ and the HTML Agility Package. The main issue with the export to csv was that it did not trim the white spaces.
