Hi, folks, I want to use Hpricot to get data out of a table of the following web page: http://tubic.tju.edu.cn/deg/information-e.php?ac=DEG20010958
and save it into a SQL database with DB field names such as "Accession Number", "GeneName" (corresponding to the first column of the table) [their respective values would be "DEG20010958", "RPO31", respectively, in the second column of table to be extracted using hpricot). This is a pretty old web page. I have two questions: (1) I can not find a unique selector/class ID for extracting the values (second column of the table). I guess I missed something. How can I do it? (2) It seems that ActiveRecord should be used to put the extracted data (values) into the SQL database. Is this the right approach for it? If so, where can I find good resource to refer to as I am not familiar with ActiveRecord or techniques similar to it. Any hints would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much, Robert ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Return on Information: Google Enterprise Search pays you back Get the facts. http://p.sf.net/sfu/google-dev2dev _______________________________________________ witty-interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/witty-interest
