 require 'mechanize'

 require 'rubygems'
require 'net/http'
 require 'open-uri'
 require 'mechanize'
require 'iconv'
story =
Hpricot(open('http://thainews.prd.go.th/newsenglish/previewnews.php?news_id=255108040023'
))
body =  story.search("//font[@color=\"#333333\"]").inner_html
body = body.gsub(/<(.|\n)+?>/, "")
body = body.gsub(/’/, "\'")
