I'm not sure exactly how you want to present the data after you've read it but try the following which reads the HTML table as if it were a piece of XML: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Xml.Linq; class Program { static void Main() { string html =  Firstname Lastname Points Eve Jackson 94 ; html +=  ; // if not present in actual html string var columns = new List >(); XElement table = XElement.Parse(html); XElement headings = table.Elements(tr).First(); foreach(XElement th in headings.Elements(th)) { string heading = th.Value; var column = new List {heading}; columns.Add(column); } foreach(XElement tr in table.Elements(tr).Skip(1)) { int i = 0; foreach(XElement td in tr.Elements(td)) { string value = td.Value; columns[i].Add(value); i++; } } int rows = columns[0].Count; int cols = columns.Count; for(int i = 1; i { for(int j = 0; j { Console.WriteLine({0}/{1} columns[j][0] columns[j][i]); } Console.WriteLine(); } Console.ReadKey(); } } The output is: Firstname/Eve Lastname/Jackson Points/94
