How to select all children (with same tag. ex.table) except first and last with jsoup

I want to get all tags (with same tag. ex. table) in one div with id = content, except first and last. The number of tags (in this case tables) is dynamic.

You can get all of them (I assume you know how to do that, otherwise the question would be stated differently?), write to a list, let's call it tables, and then do tables.sublist(1, tables.size() - 1)

Here is the full solution using selectors

Document doc = Jsoup.parse(...) // parse from some source
Elements tables =  doc.select("div#content table");
tables = tables.sublist(1, tables.size() - 1);

Excerpt from doc about selectors:

el, el, el: group multiple selectors, find unique elements that match any of the selectors; e.g. div.masthead, div.logo

:not(selector): find elements that do not match the selector

:last-child elements that are the last child of some other element.

:gt(n): find elements whose sibling index is greater than n; e.g. div p:gt(2)

I guess it's a good starting point.
