Export selected records by checkboxes in table view

Hi ..
Is there any way that I could export selected rows from a table view ? for example if there is a table with 10 records , I want to export the first , third and fourth (selected with checkbox) ?
I tried to search about it but I'v got no clue .. did I miss something ?

Hi Geetha,

You can use wrapper class to add Checkbox to selected rows. And split the seleceted rows only into new list !  
refer the below sample codes for wrapper classes. 

Public  class exportSelectedAccount {

    //### SELECTED ACCOUNT SHOWN BY THIS METHOD
      public void getSelectedRows(){
     selectedAccounts=new list<account>();
     
      for(wrapaccount wrapobj:wrapaccountlist){
           if(wrapobj.isSelected==true){
           selectedAccounts.add(wrapobj.accn);
           }
            
         }
      }
      
  //##THIS IS WRAPPER CLASS
   // account and checkbox taken in wrapper class
   
   public class wrapaccount{
    
    public account accn{get;set;}
    public boolean isSelected{get;set;}
     
       public wrapaccount(account a){
     
         accn=a;
         isselected=false;
       }
  }
}

Please try let us know if you have doubt!
