How to find specific line in a table that contains specific text using Selenium

My question is similar to this How to find specific lines in a table using Selenium? except one thing that table rows can be in random order and I want to find specific value from specific row that that has fix column1 value. i.e. find budget if company="abc". company "abc" can appear in any row in the table.

Example:

column1: column2: column3

company1: value1: value2:

company2: value1: value2

Over here I want to find value2 for company2. company2 can appear anywhere in the table.

You can try with xpath locator.

for below table structure

<table> 
<tr> <td> company2</td> <td> value1</td> <td> value2</td> </tr>
</table>

Xpath

"//td[text()='company2']/following-sibling::td[text()='value2']"


By.xpath("//td[text()='company2']/following-sibling::td[text()='value2']");

EDIT I

for getting text from td you can use the same with some index

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//td[text()='company2']/following-sibling::td[2]")).getText();

Thanks SantoshSharma. I will try this. It looks short and simple.

Purus & Santosh - As of now, I tried below code and it worked for me.

java.util.List tableRows = baseTable.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));

    for (WebElement row : tableRows) {

        String companyNameXPath = "td[2]";
        WebElement companyName = row.findElement(By.xpath(companyNameXPath));
        if (companyName.getText().equals(company)) {
            valueString = row.findElement(By.xpath("td[4]")).getText();
            break;
        }
    }
