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/.

All, At the top of my controller, I have: require ''rubygems'' require_gem ''rubyful_soup'' The rubyful_soup gem has been successfully installed.

Hey everyone, I''ve been refactoring Mechanize for an 0.7.0 release. Basically I''m trying to clean the code up and there are a few features that I think are unnecessary, but I would like to ask people first. 1) REXML as a parser. I want to remove support for REXML. I don''t use it. Hpricot seems to do everything I need. 2) 1.8.2 thru 1.8.4 support

Here is my code: require ''rexml/document'' include REXML # classes to represent the objects and relationships in the xml file class Article attr_accessor :id, :post, :archive, :ntype, :head, :blurb, :body, :fblurb, :fimage, :att, :source, :copy, :brand end # the base parser class BaseXMLParser def initialize(filename)

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.

Hi all, I''ve been looking at the performance of my fb app and one glaring issue seems to be with the parsing speed of rexml in processing the results.
