The Complete line from error inside SciTE :

test.rb:12: undefined method `write’ for #String:0x3a36d64  
(NoMethodError)

```
Error results from this line :

```

google\_data.to\_xml.write($stdout, 1)

* * *

… trying to use this Scrubyt sample script on WinXP:

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘scrubyt’

google\_data = Scrubyt::Extractor.define do  
fetch ‘[Google](http://www.google.com/ncr)’  
fill\_textfield ‘q’, ‘ruby’  
submit

result ‘Ruby P.ming Language’  
end

## google\_data.to\_xml.write($stdout, 1) Scrubyt::ResultDumper.print\_statistics(google\_data)

Any help would be appreciated. Does anyone know of an up to  
date tutorial on Scrubyt? Thanks in advance
