Subject: Search string in HTML file

Hi,
I'm looking the way of searching an string in a HTML file  given the URL.

The parameter will be "<span>value</span>" ... it has to be that
format, exactly.

I'm trying with Hpricot (http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot)
which is very powerfull  ... but it searches for elements, so i only
can pass the value of the SPAN .. no the whole string.

anyway of searching for an string in a html file given the URL?

thanks,

Jean
