I don't know Hpricot, but what you can do is: first open the file and do a gsub on the content, save it in a different/same file, and then open it using Hpricot. Just to warn you, won't be very efficient if files are huge or there are lot many files you want to process.
I think, there must be some more simpler way of doing it as well.
