Subject: Parsing Newb Help

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to Ruby, and programming in general, and am having
massive trouble parsing some HTML pages I scraped from Yellow Pages.

So far, I've been using the link below as my template

http://www.propublica.org/nerds/item/scraping-websites

I am trying to compile a list of restaurants in San Francisco, with the
price, ambiance and neighbourhood attributes. I want to import this list
into Excel. Does anyone have idea on how to adapt the script in the
template for YP?

I have successfully scraped the source code, but when it comes to
parsing, I'm having trouble inputting the right parameters.

Any help would be appreciated!
