java - Jsoup parses a table 3 times? -

i have weird issue i'm @ wits end about. maybe fresh set of eyes can oint out problem!

i'm using jsoup parse html filethe problem set of tables being outputted file 3-4 times, when being written fresh new file. first time outputted 1 straight line across .csv file every other time formatted want be. want right first time , have there olny first time!

my code:

document doc = new document(file.tostring());     doc = jsoup.parse(file, null);      elements tables = doc.select("table");      (element table: tables) {         elements rows = table.select("tr");         (element row: rows) {             elements cells = row.getelementsbytag("td");             stringbuffer values = new stringbuffer();             (element cell: cells) {                 string celltext = cell.text();                 celltext = celltext.replaceall(",", "");                 celltext = celltext.replaceall("£", ",£");                 celltext = celltext.replaceall(",£", "£");                 system.out.println(celltext);                 values.append(celltext + ",");             }             system.out.println(values.tostring());             addtofile(values + ",");         }     }  // add new data mysnmpresults file private static void addtofile(string mystring) { // add newest entry .csv                                                     // file     try {         bufferedwriter out = new bufferedwriter(new filewriter(                 "myparseddomtree.csv", true));         out.write(mystring + "\n");         out.close();     } catch (ioexception e) {         e.printstacktrace();     } } 

it case of complex html file, various tables nested in each other, don't see how causes tables number data appears once output 3 times...

edit

fragment of html:

<tr bgcolor = "#eeeeee" height = 20 > <td width = 15% > <font face="tahoma" size="1"> dept '<b>food incl vat</b>' </td> <td width = 10% align = right><font face="tahoma" size="1"> £688.95 </td> <td width = 10% align = right><font face="tahoma" size="1"> £642.60 </td> <td width = 10% align = right><font face="tahoma" size="1"> £767.95 </td> <td width = 10% align = right><font face="tahoma" size="1"> £3,007.00 </td> <td width = 10% align = right><font face="tahoma" size="1"> £1,525.60 </td> <td width = 10% align = right><font face="tahoma" size="1"> £1,970.40 </td> <td width = 10% align = right><font face="tahoma" size="1"> £353.00 </td> <td width = 1%></td><td width = 14% align = right bgcolor = "#dfdfdf"><font face="tahoma" size="1" color = '#444444'> <b>£8,955.50</b></td> </tr> 

edit: sorry had error in code. fixed now.

i don't have enough of code make solid guess, i'm not sure why trying size of table , go through table many times .size() gets (i'm guess 3-4). going want find root of tables, under roots name of table (the class name of tables should same), search each table whatever want find. maybe code :)

html:

    <ul class="listoftables">            <li class="table">                  <span class="item">            <li class="table">                  <span class="item">            <li class="table">                  <span class="item">            <li class="table">                  <span class="item"> 

java code:

public void searchforitems(document doc) {     elements tables = doc.select("li[class=table]");     (element table : tables)     {          string item;         elements itemsintable = table.select("span[class=item]");         item = itemsinttable.text();           //write item file. depending on in table, might         //have write more complex scan. looking things attributes     } }
