Screen Scraping in Ruby

I’m not going to make a full post on this because over on Rubyrailways.com they have an excellent post covering the main libraries for screen scraping in ruby.

However it is a bit out of date being 7 months old, and since then 2 more excellent libraries have emerged.

Hpricot from the Ruby Superstar _why which has just been updated to version 0.5 today!

And Scrapi which is also excellent.
