There’s probably a better way, but without looking at the docs I would
probably find my table and then maybe #inner_html followed with a
regexp.

For example…

require “hpricot”
str =


doc = Hpricot(str)
p doc.search(“table”).inner_html

=>“\n”

It’s interesting to note that hpricot picked it out even though that
string is really malformed html.

I think that this will do it:

h = Hpricot('

<!-- some div –

')

table = (h/‘table > comment()’)[0].parent
