Hi,
You are not providing enough information about what you want to do. If your question is really that broad, this may not be the best place to get help. We can help with focused, direct questions, but we cannot provide extensive tutorials on complex functionality. Do you have a more specific question?

Are you using structured or unstructured FrameMaker ? That makes a lot of difference.

I am using structured Framemaker.

This means you have an EDD. Do you also have a DTD and read-write rules? This would allow saving the entire file to XML and then extracting the table data from the XML using a simple XSL transform.

Sorry, but that would be a waste of your time. Creating XML from a structured FrameMaker document is easy enough using the tools that are already in the product. Download the Structured Application Guide and the Structured Application Reference. These provide you with all the tools you need to create XML from your structured content.
You can learn FDK programming for other types of work. This job is definitely NOT the type of thing you want to do with FDK. Also, there is a HUGE difference between FDK programming (C++ in Visual Studio) and scripting (using the ExtendScript Toolkit that comes with the FrameMaker product). You are posting your question on the Scripting forum.
