So weird I get the results I need for the first 12 or so links then it crashes on the same link (AAA 090) every time. Im' not sure what the difference is between the links.

I think you are following the path "Why make it simple if it can be complicated?". I just have a look at that website you are trying to scrap. The site is well structured and organized. So no need for concatenating strings, using regex and do all the scraping in the constructor. I would sugest following steps:

1. Get the first page and select the table with the prefix links from A to Z


2. For each link from 1. get the page of the prefix and select the table with the course prefix links. For example for the prefix A to get the links from AAA to AVT


3. For each course prefix link from 2. get the page of the course prefix and select the table containing the course links. For example for AAA to get the links from AAA 010 to AAA 999

Your code could be something like :

import java.io.IOException;

import org.jsoup.Jsoup;

import org.jsoup.nodes.Document;

import org.jsoup.nodes.Element;

import org.jsoup.select.Elements;

    public static void main(String args) {

        try {

            Document page = Jsoup.connect(homePage).get();

            Elements prefixLinks = page.select(".pagebodydiv > table:nth-child(6) tbody tr td a");



            for(Element prefix : prefixLinks){

                Document prefixPage = Jsoup.connect(prefix.absUrl("href")).get();
