Doc. Search("*") do |element| element. Swap element.

Content if element. Kind_of? Hpricot::CData end.

Doc = Hpricot::XML(open('cnn.com/.element/ssi/www/auto/2.0/video/...)) (doc/:cnn_video/:video). Each do |status| 'tease_txt'. Each do |el| puts "#{status.At(el).

Inner_text}" end end Example output (looks spammy but this is not spam! ): New Reno air crash video shows impact Teen catches 800-pound gator Resuming careers post 'don't ask' repeal Creepy skirt peepers Bus-sized satellite to hit Earth thi ...
