[ask]How to remove HTML part of a text

Ruby
1

i’m using Hpricot to parsing html and my output is:

Größe: 37 - 54
Maßtabelle

does anyone knows how to get the string “Größe: 37 - 54” and remove the
rest of that string ?

thanks

sorry for double posting, it seems there is no edit post feature…

I have a problem with HTML parsing issue. I’ll try to explain my problem
as clear as I can, and I hope someone can help me with this.

I’ve been given a task to fetch a specific data from HTML page. I’m
planning to use hpricot plugin to do this.
It’s an online shop page, and I have to fetch cloth size information.

The product information part of the page can be in either of these 2
formats:

... Some informations ...
Available in:
... (The data I want to fetch) ...

OR

... Some informations ...
... Content ... Available in:
... Content ... ... (The data I want to fetch) ...

The clue is: The row whose data I want to fetch, is always preceeded by
a row containing a string “Available in”.
And I want to fetch NOT the content of the row, BUT the content of the
last cell (

) contained inside the row.

It’s complex, and I have no idea on what to do here. Can someone help me
with this?
Thanks for the concern.

PS: The table snippet I post above may be contained inside another
table.
Apparently, the online shop use tables to do page formatting…
