Parsing some results returned by nokogiri in ruby, getting an error message
- by Khat
The following code returns an error:
require 'nokogiri'
require 'open-uri'
@doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open("http://www.amt.qc.ca/train/deux-montagnes/deux-montagnes.aspx"))
#@doc = Nokogiri::HTML(File.open("deux-montagnes.html"))
stations = @doc.xpath("//area")
stations.each { |station| str = station
reg = /href="(.*)" title="(.*)"/
href = reg.match(str)[1]
title = reg.match(str)[2]
page = /.*\/(.*).aspx$/.match(href)[1]
puts href
puts title
puts page
base_url = "http://www.amt.qc.ca"
complete_url = base_url + href
puts complete_url
}

While this code works:
str = '<area shape="poly" alt="Deux-Montagnes" coords="59,108,61,106,65,106,67,108,67,113,65,115,61,115,59,113" href="/train/deux-montagnes/deux-montagnes.aspx" title="Deux-Montagnes">'
reg = /href="(.*)" title="(.*)"/
href = reg.match(str)[1]
title = reg.match(str)[2]
page = /.*\/(.*).aspx$/.match(href)[1]
puts href
puts title
puts page
base_url = "http://www.amt.qc.ca"
complete_url = base_url + href
puts complete_url
Any reason why?
