Extracting Text From Html Elements With Cheerio

Using cheerio, $ is defined as cheerio object, I am trying to get the text from some elements which have a class forceWordWrap in a html. The following cheerio selectors are return

Solution 1:

Use $("td.forceWordWrap"); selector as Attribute Equals Selector [name=”value”] selects elements that have the specified attribute with a value exactly equal to a certain value.

const text = $("td.forceWordWrap");
const date = text.eq(0).text();
const title = text.eq(1).text();
const description = text.eq(2).text();
console.log(date);
console.log(title);
console.log(description);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<form name="his" method="post" action="/a/b.axp">
  <input type="hidden" name="action" value="accept" />
  <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
    <tr class="rowHeading">
      <td width="14%">
        <div align="left" style="white-space:nowrap">
          going home
        </div>
      </td>
      <td width="86%">
        <div align="left">
          say bye.
        </div>
      </td>
    </tr>

      <td class="boldBodyText forceWordWrap">
        <input type="hidden" name="king" value="Tut" />the kings
      </td>
      <td class="boldBodyText forceWordWrap">
