Hi @boubcher, if you could get the HTML document containing the table element and the URLs of the files with HTTPCaller, the HTMLExtractor might help you to extract the contents of the table. However, it's hard to think of a specific way unless we can see the HTML document.

oops, I had overlooked you have posted the URL of the page.

 

The HTML page is create with JavaScript script dynamically, and doesn't seem to contain actual contents of the table. I'm afraid that it's hard to get the contents unless you know the API to access the download files.

I agree, the file doesn't have any actualy content, I tried it both as a HTMLTable and a plain text reader but no luck.
