Now that I’ve got my DNS back, I’m still getting the same basic error I  
had last time around, complaining: undefined method ‘line’

Help?

* * *

def fromWeb(site, url)  
# get data from website  
h = Net::HTTP.new(site, 80)  
resp=h.get(url) do  
# process data  
|line|  
if /DGM\_navigation/ =~ line do  
# decode page lineage  
step=Array.new  
astep, line = getNextWord(line)  
while astep != nil  
step.push(astep)  
astep, line = getNextWord(line)  
end  
puts “Page Lineage”  
indent = 0  
step.each do  
|astep|  
indent.each do  
put " "  
end  
puts astep  
indent += 1  
end  
end # end DGM\_naviation  
end # end Net::HTTP.get  
end # end def fromWeb

Minor syntax error on your part

if’s syntax is  
if cond  
…  
end

not

if cond do # calls cond with the block  
…  
end
