public class ZoneListFromWiki {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {

            Elements trs = doc.select("table.wikitable tr");
 
            //remove header row
            trs.remove(0);

                Elements tds = tr.select("td.summary"); 
                Element td = tds.first(); 
                if(td != null) { 
                    String episode = td.text(); 
                    episode = episode.substring(1, episode.lastIndexOf('"')); 
                    System.out.println(episode); 
                }
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
