Rubyinstaller devel - Jul 2006 - String Manipulation in Ruby

I need to parse this string for the href text:

linkHTML = "<a href="javascript:{if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) !=
''function'' ||  Page_ClientValidate())
__doPostBack(''CustMstr_repeater
$_ctl1$_ctl0'','''')} ">Accounts</a>"

This is ultimately what I need to end up with:

s = "javascript:{if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) !=
''function'' ||
Page_ClientValidate()) top.frames[0].__doPostBack(''CustMstr_repeater 
$_ctl1$_ctl0'','''')} "

The one thing making my life ahrd is that ''top.frames[0].''
needs to
be inserted before the __doPostBack so it will work.  I''m a Ruby noob  
and I don''t know anything about RegExp.  Are there string  
manipulation methods I can use to do the job?

Thanks,

You have posted to the wrong list. This mailing list is for the developers
of the one-click installer. If you want help with ruby programming, you
should post to the ruby-talk mailing list:
