Default Table Name on a Web Page

How to tell what the 'Table Name' is on a web page?
In my case when I use the 'capture table' button and then select a table on a web page, it gives me 'Table1651' when I click the next table its 'Table1860'. Where can I see these table numbers so I can make a list

Cheers

Hello,

What we understand is that you want to know the table number irrespective of using 'Import Table' command. Right? What happens is when we capture a table from a webpage using 'Import Table' command it actually captures the table on the area we click on. And, the table number that is generated is actually the id of that table on that page and cannot be derived manually. Can you please let us know the use case you are wanting to automate i.e. why you actually require such list of table numbers?
Please let us know so that we can help you accordingly.

Here is a sample page, they use the same formatting as my internal server.

Monster - Search Jobs

With Kapow I can scrape the listings on the middle page. With Kapow I can select the entire table and then do iterations per record. Not sure if the same can be done with this.

Cheers

Using Automation Anywhere alloyou can import tables from web pages and save them in .CSV format. Tools->Web Recorder helps you to launch and extract data from any web site.

What you can do is as follows:

1) Use 'Open Browser' command and enter your URL
2) Import and capture table. Just click on the table twice
3) 'Close Browser' command

For e.g.
Open “call center Jobs | Monster.com
Import data from 'http:// jobsearch.monster.com' website's 'Table3' table
Close Browser

You can also go through the following online examples which are similar to your requirement:
