Script to visit a page

Ruby
1

I am pretty new to scripting in general and ruby and rails in
particular. I need to visit a list of URLs and grep for a certain word
on those pages. How would I go about doing this in Ruby? Would
appreciate some pointers.
Thanks!

There are examples of how to do this in the pickaxe. Google for
“open-uri” and/or “Ruby Net::HTTP” for examples. It’s basic stuff.
