gem install hpricot --source code.whytheluckystiff.net

Hpricot is a nice, loose HTML parser for Ruby, written in C. I stole a bunch of code and ideas from HTree, Prototype and JQuery. The gem requires a compiler. It’s 0.1, so it’s kinda wobbly, but hey.

 require 'hpricot'
 doc = Hpricot.parse("index.html")
 (doc/:p/:a).each do |link|
   p link.attributes
 end
