Tonight's example: parsing an HTML document to find a
regular _expression_. I'm not aware of any simple way to get a shell script
to download a page, follow a link, grab a graphic from a page, etc., etc.,
etc.
The purpose of any powerful language is to make stuff
easier. Shell scripts are often immensely practical, but they tend to be
conceptually simpler and less powerful.

Subject: [Wtr-general] Using Watir/Ruby scriptsHiI hear that many companies uses shell scripts(using bourne shell or any other ...) in the testing cycle.So, my question is can we use watir/ruby scripts instead of these.Thanks
