So is there a ...

Hi all, I'm working on my first ORM project and am using Mechanize. Here's the situation: I'm downloading a zip file from my website into a Mechanize::File object. Inside the zip is a file buried three folders deep (folder_1/folder_2/file.txt). I'd like to pull file.txt out of the zip file and return that instead of the zip file itse...
I currently have some Ruby code used to scrape some websites. I was using Ruby because at the time I was using Ruby on Rails for a site, and it just made sense.

I've run into a problem with mechanize following links. Here's a snippet of what I'm aiming to do: for link in mech.links(url_regex='/test/'): mech.follow_link(link) // Do some processing on that link mech.back() According to mechanize examples, this should work just fine.

I am trying to parse and submit a form on a website using mechanize, but it appears that the built-in form parser cannot detect the form and its elements. I suspect that it is choking on poorly formed HTML, and I'd like to try pre-parsing it with a parser better designed to handle bad HTML (say lxml or BeautifulSoup) and then feeding the...

I am using Python Mechanize to open a website, fill out a form, and submit that form. It's actually pretty simple. It works until I come across radio buttons and "select" input boxes. br.open(url) br.select_form(name="postmsg") br.form['subject'] = "Is this good for the holidays? " br.form['message'] = "I'm new to technology." br.form['...

What I want to do is to regex out ...
