如何使用Nokogiri解析HTML表格？

Question

我安装了Ruby和Mechanize.在我看来,Nokogiri可以做我想做的事,但我不知道该怎么做.

那怎么样table？它只是vBulletin论坛网站HTML的一部分.我试图保留HTML结构,但删除了一些文本和标记属性.我想获得每个帖子的一些细节:标题,作者,日期,时间,回复和视图.

请注意HTML文档中的表格很少？我正在追寻一张特别的桌子tbody,<tbody id="threadbits_forum_251">.名称将始终相同(我希望).我可以在代码中使用tbody和name吗？

<table >
  <tbody>
    <tr>  <!-- table header --> </tr>
  </tbody>
  <!-- show threads -->
  <tbody id="threadbits_forum_251">
    <tr>
      <td></td>
      <td></td>
      <td>
        <div>
          <a href="showthread.php?t=230708" >Vb4 Gold Released</a>
        </div>
        <div>
          <span><a>Paul M</a></span>
        </div>
      </td>
      <td>
          06 Jan 2010 <span class="time">23:35</span><br />
          by <a href="member.php?find=lastposter&amp;t=230708">shane943</a> 
        </div>
      </td>
      <td><a href="#">24</a></td>
      <td>1,320</td>
    </tr>

  </tbody>
</table>
