Hi there, I'm trying to scrape information from a page using Watir and
ran into an issue that I need help with.
The page has nested lists, like this:
----
* Foo
1. abc
2. def
3. ghi
* Bar
1. xyz
2. tuv
3. lmn
* Baz
1. pqr
2. jkl
3. mno
----
What I'd like to do is retrieve/scrape the list contents separately.
Currently, when I try to check content using something like:
> browser.ul(how, what).lis.each {|x| p x.text}
I get output like:
----
"Foo \r\nabc def ghi"
"abc"
"def"
"ghi"
"Bar \r\nxyz tuv lmn"
"xyz"
"tuv"
"lmn"
"Baz \r\npqr jkl mno"
"pqr"
"jkl"
"mno"
----
This is not what I want. I'd like the query to return: "Foo", "Bar",
"Baz"
That way, I can then query each list item and pull out the (ordered)
sub-lists by name.
Thoughts or suggestions?
TIA.
Paul.
