Hi Brian > I'm sure if you post your actual code and what it does, someone will > help you tweak it to work. actual code was this require 'rubygems' require 'yaml' require 'hpricot' html_datei = File.open(ARGV[0]).readlines.collect do |line| option 1# line.gsub(/<\/?[^>]*>/, "").to_yaml option 2 # line.gsub(/</, "").gsub(/>/,"").strip.to_yaml.gsub(/---/,"").lstrip option 3 # line.gsub(/^<\/?[^>]*>/,"").lstrip end # all 3 options worked, but I couldn't figure out how to get those "" or '' in between # so I tried hpricot doc = open(ARGV[0]) { |f| Hpricot(f).search("div") } # but how to go from here? I couldn't figure out the documentation of Hpricot, because .to_inner_html doesn't work yaml_datei = File.new(ARGV[1], 'w+') yaml_datei << html_datei yaml_datei << doc yaml_datei.close so, that was my actual code -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
