Dear all,

i have a html file in my local path.

In that html file i have below tag.

<img src="/2010-01-12/Capture/1210420100112145725141.jpg" />

Now what i need is i want to modify the above tag into

<img src="/Capture/1210420100112145725141.jpg" />

i want to replace all the image path like above path.

Is it possible to do? i have a idea in hpricot parser.

Is it worth to try with hpricot..

if so,kindly provide any sample code or links

Thank you for your time

Here’s a hpricot example that works:

require ‘rubygems’ require ‘hpricot’

doc = Hpricot(“

<img src="/2010-01-12/Capture/1210420100112145725141.jpg" />

”)

doc.search(‘img’).each do |img| img[‘src’] = img[‘src’].gsub(/^/\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}/, “”) # have to do gsub – gsub! doesn’t work end

puts doc.html

Anyone, if this can be done smarter, please write.
