Subject: Simple google search script

Hi all.

just a quick and simple question.

I want to create a short script in ruby to do a simple google search and return the 1st x urls.

I have done it in bash scripting as i've shown here:

!/bin/sh
if [ "$1" = "" ]; then
	echo "Usage: google <keyword 1> <keyword 2> <keyword 3> etc.."
else
	lynx -dump "http://www.google.com/search?q=$2+$3+$4+$5+$6" | grep \/ | head -n"$1"|awk '{print $1}'
fi

basically I need a ruby equivalent of that. can anyone help??

regards
Charles
