I am trying to extract specific data from a table displayed on the web server of a device.
I am running into an error while running the code that I cannot seem to understand.
I believe the error is coming when trying to find the specific element on the table column which is an invalid expression.

Any help on the issue will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Regards

I tried different XPath expressions but this is the one that has narrowed down the problem for me.
