Instead of using a regular expression you could consider a html parser ,
and/or do a xpath search to retrieve images. Check hpricot .

Yeah, it is quite easy with Hpricot:

require ‘open-uri’
require ‘hpricot’

site =
Hpricot(open(“http://code.google.com/edu/submissions/SedgewickWayne/index.html”))
site.search(“//img”) #=> returns an array of all images

yes i used as this
doc = Hpricot.parse(item.description)
imgs = doc.search(“//img”)
@src_array = imgs.collect{|img|img.attributes[“src”]}

but it gives only the Image Url’s but I need to Get
tag Fully …
Any Helps

Then do

@src_array = imgs.collect{|img| “<img src =”#{img.attributes[“src”]
}">" }

?

i’m not really sure about hpricot , but with html/tree parser , when you
call a node’s to_s method , you got it’s full html . So , you should try
to call .to_s on the array’s elements , and see if it’s what you need.

yes It works…
Is It Possible to Use @src_array into String.sub!(pattern,replacement)
That is

@src_array.sub(/[@src_array]/," ")

@src_array contains all the img tags.i need to replace it empty…
for that will tat above code work?
can u get me there?
