hello
I am trying to grab the table that has a html comment in it. for eg
<TABLE cellSpacing=1 width="80%" align=center border=0><!--
startingtable -->
how can i do using search functionality in hpricot.
appreciate any help
There's probably a better way, but without looking at the docs I would
probably find my table and then maybe #inner_html followed with a
regexp.
For example...
require "hpricot"
str = <TABLE cellspacing=1 width= 80% align=center border=0><!--
startingtable -->
doc = Hpricot(str)
p doc.search("table").inner_html
=>"<!-- startingtable -->\n"
It's interesting to note that hpricot picked it out even though that
string is really malformed html.

I think that this will do it:
h = Hpricot('<table><!-- startingtable --></table><div><!-- some div --
</div>')
table = (h/'table > comment()')[0].parent
