similar to: How to delete a node with Hpricot?

Hey all! Just to preface, I am fairly new to RoR, and brand new to using hpricot. I am using the following code to scrape this xpath: "/html/body/div/div[5]/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]" from this url: "http://www.greatnonprofits.org/" Here is my code to do so (taken from igvita.com''s related blogpost): ************* require ''rubygems'' require

People, I enhanced http://hpricot.com and deployed it to heroku. I use hpricot.com to build and test various hpricot expressions and then run them against a variety of websites. Hpricot.com shows you the resulting html. Also hpricot.com will render the resulting html. For some development activities, hpricot.com is useful. If you have any questions, e-me. Thanks, --Dan Bikle -- You

This is in windows .. So from irb, I can load hpricot ok. (ruby 1.8.7) C:\Users\Laurence\rails-play\plug-test>irb irb(main):001:0> require ''hpricot'' LoadError: no such file to load -- hpricot from (irb):1:in `require'' from (irb):1 irb(main):002:0> require ''rubygems'' => true irb(main):003:0> require

It looks to me that hpricot is a dependency to building rspec: euclid% rake pre_commit (in /Users/smtlaissezfaire/ruby/projects/rspec/hpricot) rake aborted! Could not find RubyGem hpricot (>= 0.0.0) /Users/smtlaissezfaire/ruby/projects/rspec/hpricot/rakefile:9 (See full trace by running task with --trace) Let me know if I''m wrong. Otherwise, I''ll submit a patch in the docs.

Hi, I have been stumped by this error Hpricot is generating in my rails app. The error looks like this: $ script/console Loading development environment (Rails 2.0.2) >> str = ''<p>lorem ipsum <a href="http://dolor.com/">dolor</a> sit amet.</p>'' => "<p>lorem ipsum <a href=\"http://dolor.com/\">dolor</a>

All, Another easy question. In Hpricot, on a doc that I am using, I can do a .to_html method and retrieve the entire page. However, this doesn''t seem to work in Mechanize. My goal is to the text of the page and put it into a database to make it searchable with ferret (using the acts_as_ferret plugin in Rails). Does anyone have a good suggestion short of iterating over the entire

assert_tag smells bad. Hpricot smells nice (apricotty!).

I knew as soon as I hit the enter key, the intelligence would feed my brain. The answer to this is: elements[1]["value"] Easy Peasy....and why not? (there is a pun there if you can see it) Thanks for listening.

Hi guys, I wanted to fetch some info from webpage and use it in my db. I read hpricot is one way to do it. But the problem is I''m unable to use it with my app. For some reason after successfully installing hpricot it fails when I try to use it in the rails console. I''ve been trying to fix this for the last four-five days. I''m stumped ! I tried re-installing everything

I get an error in the hpricot-gem on Windows XP sp3. I have tested different versions of it and combined them with different versions of sequel (including the latest of both). The error triggers on the line when I do: require ’hpricot’. The line that causes the error in the hpricot-gem in the file elements.rb (line 395) looks like this: nth = proc { |num,i| self.position == num.to_i } What is

Hi everyone, My quest with mechanize/Hpricot continues :) Something extremely strange happened today - some simple working code broke down, and i can''t figure out why. I am trying to access a piratebay.org search page, which does a redirect to a relative url like this: original link: http://thepiratebay.org/s/?page=0&orderby=3&q=football+manager+2008&searchTitle=on redirects

How about getting the name and value from this element object: irb(main):079:0> elements[1] => {emptyelem <input name="SNMPTrustedHost" type="hidden" value="1.2.3.4">} irb(main):080:0> elements[1].class => Hpricot::Elem If I can do that, then I''m home free. I''ve been looking at the Hpricot docs, but I''m not

I am trying to get a page which includes a form, but the form is missing from the WWW::Mechanize::Page object. I retrieve it via: page = web_agent.submit(a_different_form) For debugging this problem, I then immediately write the resulting page to two different logs: File.open(''big.html'',''wb'') { |f| f.write(page.body) }

Hello, I''ve been trying for hours to parse an XML using Hpricot. Usually it''s not a problem.

Greetings, I''m using Mechanize to scrap dozens of pages and have noticed the size of my ruby process keeps growing. I set Mechanize.max_history to 0 with no effect on the memory use. I wrote a little test to show the objects left on the heap after mechanizing a single page and then doing a garbage collection. Sample list appended below. I can supply the test code if it helps.
