Subject: Re: Extracting some text from HTML

Hi, I want to do something similar to what you are doing.

Basically I would like to go through a whole bunch of links and text on 
a page and scrape just the Text I want, and if I get that text scrape 
the corresponding URL in the same table with it.

Here is my actual code so far

require 'nokogiri'
require 'rubygems'
require 'open-uri'

def certs
  @certs = %{MCSE "A\+" MCITP MCDBA MCPD MCSA} # Text I would like 
scraped
end
for i in 1..100 do # yay for page loop
url = "http://www.hawaiicrcs.org/searchprog.asp?cat=&pg=#{i}" pages 
scraped
doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(url))
for s in 1..100 do # yay for table loop
tts = doc.css("tr:nth-child(#{s})").each do |var| # pages in an array

puts var
end
end
end
end

Hope I am being clear. for the href I have gotten it to display with
tts = doc.css("tr:nth-child(#{s})")[:href]

But am unsure how to go about getting the href with the compared to text 
I am thinking an if then statement or case. maybe someone can help.

 Something like

if compared data = true
 p "doc.css("tr:nth-child(#{s})")[:href]"

or something of the sort. I am a newb so forgive my error's if there are 
any when I type.
