_ Hi , this is my web page : 

<html>
    <head>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div> text div 1</div>
        <div>
            <span>text of first span </span>
            <span>text of second span </span>
        </div>
        <div> text div 3 </div>
    </body>
</html>

I'm using jsoup to parse it , and then browse all elements inside the page and get their paths : 

 Document doc = Jsoup.parse(new File("C:\\Users\\HC\\Desktop\\dataset\\index.html"), "UTF-8");
 Elements elements = doc.body().select("*");
ArrayList all = new ArrayList();
        for (Element element : elements) {
            if (!element.ownText().isEmpty()) {

                StringBuilder path = new StringBuilder(element.nodeName());
                String value = element.ownText();
                Elements p_el = element.parents();

                for (Element el : p_el) {
                    path.insert(0, el.nodeName() + '/');
                }
                all.add(path + " = " + value + "\n");
                System.out.println(path +" = "+ value);
            }
        }

        return all;

my code give me this result : 

html/body/div = text div 1
html/body/div/span = text of first span
html/body/div/span = text of second span
html/body/div = text div 3

in fact i want get result like this : 

html/body/div[1] = text div 1
html/body/div[2]/span[1] = text of first span
html/body/div[2]/span[2] = text of second span
html/body/div[3] = text div 3

please could any one give me idea how to get reach this result :) . thanks in advance.

This is my solution to this problem:

StringBuilder absPath=new StringBuilder();
Elements parents = htmlElement.parents();

for (int j = parents.size()-1; j >= 0; j--) {
    Element element = parents.get(j);
    absPath.append("/");
    absPath.append(element.tagName());
    absPath.append("[");
    absPath.append(element.siblingIndex());
    absPath.append("]");
}
