Subject: Re: Nokogiri help parsing HTML

That makes quite a difference!  Here's what I have after ripping out the 
old logic and extracting the date using Nokogiri:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require "nokogiri"

# get the date

doc = Nokogiri::HTML File.read(ARGV[0])
output = doc.css('span[@id="date"]').first.text[/\d+ \w+ \d+/].gsub(' 
','-') + $/

# get the remaining text

path = '//address/following-sibling::p//text()'
doc.xpath(path).each { |line| output << line.text.strip << $/ }

File.write("snippet.txt", output)
