Thank u i have done what u told using gsub operator i replaces the tags to
the form as u told,but problem is that
if
doc = Hpricot(open('Delhi.txt'))
x=doc.to_s
doc1=x.gsub(/<(\/?)li><span>/,'</li></see><see><span>')
puts doc1
doc1.search('span').each do |y|
puts y.inner_text
end
its giving error
undefined method `search' for #<String:0xb7d0bc74> (NoMethodError)
because doc1 is string how can i conevrt so that i can read the file again
by hpricot
