Mechanize Tutorials
Are there any good tutorials on mechanize? I looked around and found a few code examples, but the didn''t really go about explaining the code. Also the documentation is more of a stub than actual doc. Also since it requires Hpricot does that mean an instance of mechanize have all the search functions of Hpricot? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I am really interested in any good Mechanize tutorials as well. Such a seemingly useful tool that I can''t find very much documentation on.

The tutorials are probably Perl only. This has some mechanize examples, but its a higher level article and talks about all of the screen scraping techniques available to Ruby (like REXML+regxp, WATIR, Rubysoupful etc.) http://www.rubyrailways.com/data-extraction-for-web-20-screen-scraping-in-rubyrails Decent article, but not many links or examples. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
