Hi Bill,

How about:

require 'rubygems'
require 'open-uri'
require 'hpricot'
require 'enumerator'

Record = Struct.new("Record", :id, :title, :author, :book_level, :points)
records = []

cells =
Hpricot(open('http://yorkcountyschools.org/mves/arlist/3-3.4.htm'))/"/html/body/table/tbody/tr//td"


cells.map { |elem| elem.inner_html }.each_slice(5) do |slice|
  records << Record.new(*slice)
end

HTH,
Peter
