Need help with For Loop logic for reading docx Table column data - vintysaw - Jan-09-2020

Hi Everyone,

Please help with the loop logic.

There are multiple tables available in the word docx.
I am trying to read a particular Table e.g. Table2 in a docx document.
I need to read contents only from column 3 of Table2 having column name as 'status'.

The current logic, it reads all the rows data from Table 2 till Table 3. How do I make read only column3 data from Table2.

Table1
Sr. Name Age City
1 Mr. XYZ 12 sfs
2 Mr. YDS 34 safdas
3 Mr. ZSD 20 asfd
4 Mr. BSD 50 asd

Table2
Sr. Name Status City
1 Mr. XYZ Single sfs
2 Mr. YDS Married safdas
3 Mr. ZSD Single asfd
4 Mr. BSD Divorcee asd

Table3
Sr. Name Age City State
1 Mr. XYZ 12 sfs MK
2 Mr. YDS 34 safdas JS
3 Mr. ZSD 20 asfd SD
4 Mr. BSD 50 asd WE

import docx
file2 = docx.Document("C:\\Test_Document.docx")
document1 = file2
columns1=[]
i = 0
j = 0

def function_verifystatus(document1):
    flag1 = True
    
    for (table_no,table) in enumerate(document1.tables):
        
        for (i,row) in enumerate(table.rows):
            for (j,cell) in enumerate(row.cells):
                if cell.text == "Status":
                    k = j
                    flag1 = False            
            if (flag1 == False):
                for (i,k) in enumerate(row.cells):
                    columns1.append(k.text)
                    print("status value is:", k.text)
    flag1 = True
        
        
    return columns1
        
result1=function_verifystatus(document1)

Thanks Larz. I checked that google group. It seems, it has not been active for a while now.
