I''m starting to use RubyfulSoup (http://www.crummy.com/software/ RubyfulSoup/), but my Rails app already uses acts_as_taggable. RubyfulSoup has a Tag class. In order to get the Tag << ActiveRecord::Base and this Tag to co-exist, I had to rename the RubyfulSoup class to TagSoup. This seems to work so far. This is a...

All, I have a little namespace collision here. I am trying to use both RubyfulSoup (an HTML parser - which I highly recommend by the way) and the ActionView::Helpers::TextHelper class. Within the TextHelper class, there''s an attempt to create a new "Tag" object. However, Tag is also defined in the RubyfulSoup gem and it is _this_ Tag class whose initializ...

Hi, What is the best way to parse HTML? Or is there a simple way to convert a table to an array? I tried beautiful_soup and the built-in htmltools, but have trouble getting them to run. Any pointers? Thanks, Hari -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am trying to write a ruby script which includes both the ''RubyfulSoup'' gem for HTML scouring, and the rails environment so I can access the database easily. I get the following error when trying to run this script. /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_view/helpers/../../action_controller/vendor/html-scanner/html/node.rb:276: superclass...

I had to dig through the source and do a lot of debug printing, but I figured out that because I was using NavigableString objects generated from RubyfulSoup parsing lib, instead of String, the drb server was not properly unmarshalling the object. I fixed it by calling to_s on all my strings. ActiveRecord and the local ferret server handled this fine, but the remote one chokes. The error was masked twice by the exception trapping code in acts_as_ferr...

Hi, I want to parse the html doc using ruby. I tried using reXML but failed to load html doc as it is not in well formed structure. Can you please suggest me a good parser which I can use to parse HTML page using Ruby? Thanks, Karika. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

All, Rails 1.1.2 Win XP Pro Rubyful Soup 1.0.4 htmltools 1.0.9 I am terribly confused as to what pulling in a gem does with respect to how many modules get loaded at runtime. I am using two gems in my app, Rubyful Soup and htmltools. RubyfulSoup requires one module from the htmltools gem (html/sgml-parser). My app requires the RubyfulSoup gem. When I started my app, something was causing _another_ module from the htmltools gem named html/tags.rb to be loaded. This eventually led to a namespace conflict. When I made local copies of bo...
