how to get a specific div using jsoup

i've a problem with selecting a specific child by order , for exemple looking at this html code :

    <html>
    <body>
        <div class="partA">
        1
        </div>
        <div class="partB">
        2
        </div>
        <div class="partC">
        3
        </div>
        <div class="partB">
        <div>1</div>
        <div>2</div>
        <div>3</div>
        <div>4</div>
        <div class = "sublassB"> 5 </div>
        </div>

        <div class="partD">
        5
        </div>
    </body>
    </html>

i want using jsoup , get the fourth div for example (body/div[4]/div[5]) , and then get the class name of the fourth div .

i used :eq(n) but it didnt give me the disered result . is there any other way ? thanks in advance :) .

Here is how to write the path body/div[4]/div[5] as a CSS selector:

body > div:nth-child(4) > div:nth-child(5)

If you use a long path not containing only div or sometimes other tag, simply generate a string on the fly and pass it to Jsoup.

Getting elements with classname is always preferred but still if you want to go by index numbering you can use below code , you must know exact index you want to fetch though

Document doc = Jsoup.connect("http://www.codeinventory.com").get();
Elements body= doc.select("body").get(0);
Elements  div = body.select("div").get(3).select("div").get(4); // here just append select("div").get(n) fi you know exact nesting and div number you want 

System.out.println(div.attr("class")) // this will give you classname
