Indeed, I appreciate!! I have actually 2 more questions regarding this
topic. Thus,
1) I'd like to either create a .txt or .xml file for each id. Can I go ahead
and use aFile = File.new("bid.txt", "w") and aFile.close?
2) How can I chomp the \n and \t characters in the terminal output? I only
need the text w/o tags. Best on separate lines...
I owe you a pitcher :-)

# gets the content of the div id ="vulnerability", either as text or html
p (doc/'#vulnerability').inner_text.strip
end

# create a new file
aFile = File.new("bid.txt", "w")

#... code to process the file

# close the file
aFile.close

# prints div id = 'vulnerability'
puts p
