I think you'll find you need to know _something_ about the page layout. If there are a finite number of places you need to scrape from you could do this pretty simply.
Assume you had a css selector to find the desired content in each URL of interest, and it was stored in an active record (ish) model. # ... # lookup the selector @selector = Selector.find_by_url @the_url_to_scrape doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(@the_url_to_scrape)) # Search for nodes by css doc.css(@selector).each do |link| puts link.content end #... I did a write up on simple scraping with nokogiri and selectorgadget here: http://joemcglynn.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/five-minute-introduction-to-nokog iri/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
