Subject: Re: Nokogiri help parsing HTML

Just out of curiosity I had a go at writing this myself, with the 
exception of that complicated xpath because I don't really understand 
xpath yet :)

This is what I came up with:

require 'nokogiri'
doc = Nokogiri::HTML File.read(ARGV[0])
output = doc.css('span[@id="date"]').first.text[/\d+ \w+ \d+/].gsub(' 
','-') + $/
path = '//address/following-sibling::p//text()'
doc.xpath(path).each { |line| output << line.text.strip << $/ }
File.write("snippet.txt", output)
