Ruby (mechanize , net/http)

Hi guys.
I`m using mechanize to get some images from the web application. I have
2 problems:
1-st : I can`t catch the links. The whole link looks like <a href =
"https://…/reports/switch_accounts.html?.."See full report</a>

And there`re couple of these that i try to catch with a singe regexp

i tried this :
<code>
final.links_with(:href => %r{/switch_accounts.html/} ).each do |link|
puts link.href, link.text
end
</code>

but it doesn`t display anything, but i`m pretty much sure there`re those
links in the 'final' webpage

The second problem - how can i actually save the images to a selected
folder(assuming i have the links for them)?

Thatnks everybody, any ideas are really appreciated

Hello

If you didn't find it yet:

>> str1 = 'http://…reports/switch_accounts.html?..'
=> "http://…reports/switch_accounts.html?.."
>> re1 = %r{/switch_accounts.html/}
=> /\/switch_accounts.html\//
>> str1.match re1
=> nil
>> str2 = 'http://…reports/switch_accounts.html/?..'
=> "http://…reports/switch_accounts.html/?.."
>> str2.match re1
=> #<MatchData:0xb7e1695c>
>> re2 = %r{/switch_accounts.html\?}
=> /\/switch_accounts.html\?/
>> str1.match re2
=> #<MatchData:0xb7e0c8d0>

I don't know mechanize, but str2 is an url your regex (re1) would match. re2 is the regex that matches your sample url.
