I want to take the data and organize it without the tags. It looks something like this 

<table class="SpecTable">
    <col width="40%" />
    <col width="60%" />
    <tr>
        <td class="LightRowHead">Optical Zoom:</td>
        <td class="LightRow">15x</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="DarkRowHead">Digital Zoom:</td>
        <td class="DarkRow">6x</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="LightRowHead">Battery Type:</td>
        <td class="LightRow">Alkaline</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td class="DarkRowHead">Resolution Megapixels:</td>
        <td class="DarkRow">14 MP</td>
    </tr>
</table>

and I want to be able to extract all the strings of information so that I can store in a plaintext file with just this:

Optical Zoom: 15x Digital Zoom: 6x Battery Type: Alkaline Resolution Megapixels: 14 MP

public static void main(String[] args) {

        FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
        profile.setPreference("general.useragent.override", "some UA string");
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

        String Url = "http://www.walmart.com/ip/Generic-14-MP-X400-BK/19863348";
        driver.get(Url);
        List<WebElement> resultsDiv = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[contains (@class,'SpecTable')//td"));

        System.out.println(resultsDiv.size());
        for (int i=0; i<resultsDiv.size(); i++) {
            System.out.println(i+1 + ". " + resultsDiv.get(i).getText());
        }

I am programming in Java with Selenium and I cannot figure out the correct XPath expression for it.

Can someone figure out why I err on this and maybe give me some pointers on how I can parse this data correctly? Im very new to Selenium and XPaths but I need this for work.

Also if anyone has any good sources for me to learn Selenium and XPath fast, those would also be greatly appreciated!

The spec is surprisingly a very good read on XPath.

You might also try CSS selectors.

Anyway, one way to get the data from a table can be as following:

// gets all rows
List<WebElement> rows = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//table[@class='SpecTable']//tr"));
// for every line, store both columns
for (WebElement row : rows) {
    WebElement key = row.findElement(By.XPath("./td[1]"));
    doAnythingWithText(key.getText());
    WebElement val = row.findElement(By.XPath("./td[2]"));
    doAnythingWithText(val.getText());
}

Probably this will suite your needs: 

string text = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("table.SpecTable")).getText();

String text will contain all text nodes from the table with class SpecTable. I prefer using css, because it's supported by IE and faster than xpath. But as for xpath tutorials try this and this.

As another option you could grab all the cells of the table into one array and access them that way. EG.

ReadOnlyCollection<IWebElement> Cells = driver.FindElements(By.XPath("//table[@class='SpecTable']//tr//td"));

This will get you all the cells in that table as an array which you can then use to access the text iteratively.

string forOutput = Cells[i].Text;

CSharp method to extract any table in a 2 dimension array:

private string[,] getYourSpecTable(){
    return getArrayBy(By.CssSelector("table.SpecTable tr"), By.CssSelector("td"));
}

private string[,] getArrayBy(By rowsBy, By columnsBy){
    bool init=false;
    int nbRow=0, nbCol=0;
    string[,] ret = null;
    ReadOnlyCollection<OpenQA.Selenium.IWebElement> rows = this.webDriver.FindElements(rowsBy);
    nbRow = rows.Count;
    for(int r=0;r<nbRow;r++) {
        ReadOnlyCollection<OpenQA.Selenium.IWebElement> cols = rows[r].FindElements(columnsBy);
        if(!init) {
            init= true;
            nbCol = cols.Count;
            ret = new string[rows.Count, cols.Count];
        }                
        for(int c=0;c<nbCol;c++) {
            ret[r, c] = cols[c].Text;
        }
    }
    return ret;
}
