one way would be to grab the page serverside:

http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/http/rdoc/index.html

as for the grepping, there are a variety of regular expression options,
as well as dealing with the DOM tree of the fetched page at a higher
level. i guess you could also do similar things clientside, with
greasemonkey or similar utils

if you are serious about doing a lot of webpage ‘remixing’ you could
hceck out mousehole, which is some kind of ruby web proxy
