问题
So I am cycling through an array element and this is the result returned:
[nil, [#<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x835386d4 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x835385f8 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2961573018.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x835381c0 "Web Designer Full time">]>
What I would like to do is access href value, and then the text value. How do I do that?
I tried this:
puts i[:href]
But that generates this error:
TypeError: Symbol as array index
By the way, I am accessing i as an element in the array via each like this:
contents.each do |i|
puts i.inspect
puts i[:href]
end
Edit 1:
This is how I am generating the contents array. There is no need to rename it, because it can get confusing :)
contents = {}
first_items.each do |link|
content_url = link
content_page = Nokogiri::HTML(open(content_url))
contents[link[:href]] = content_page.css("p a")
end
puts contents.inspect
This is what gets output:
{nil=>[#<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fee914 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fee838 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2961573018.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fee400 "Web Designer Full time">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fee298 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fee1bc name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2959813303.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fedd84 "Once in a lifetime opportunity...">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fedc1c name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fedb40 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2925485723.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fed708 "Website Designer and Blogging Internship!">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fed5a0 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fed4c4 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2918424652.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fed08c "Excellent Java Developer Opportunity!">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fecf24 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fece48 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2888669703.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85feca10 "Freelance Graphic Design">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fec8a8 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fec7cc name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2900256461.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fec394 "GWT/GXT Developer">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fec22c name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fec150 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2897641463.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85febd18 "Website hiring!">]>]}
Here is the full value of the output for i:
--------------------
This is the value of i:
[nil, [#<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fee914 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fee838 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2961573018.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fee400 "Web Designer Full time">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fee298 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fee1bc name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2959813303.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fedd84 "Once in a lifetime opportunity...">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fedc1c name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fedb40 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2925485723.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fed708 "Website Designer and Blogging Internship!">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fed5a0 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fed4c4 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2918424652.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fed08c "Excellent Java Developer Opportunity!">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fecf24 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fece48 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2888669703.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85feca10 "Freelance Graphic Design">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fec8a8 name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fec7cc name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2900256461.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85fec394 "GWT/GXT Developer">]>, #<Nokogiri::XML::Element:0x85fec22c name="a" attributes=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Attr:0x85fec150 name="href" value="http://bham.craigslist.org/web/2897641463.html">] children=[#<Nokogiri::XML::Text:0x85febd18 "Website hiring!">]>]]

This is the value of i.href:
Edit 2:
By the way, this is what the actual HTML output looks like...I did this:
builder = Nokogiri::HTML::Builder.new do |doc|
doc.html {
doc.body {
contents.each do |el|
if !el.nil?
puts "-" * 20
puts "This is the value of el: "
puts el.inspect
puts "-" * 20
puts "This is the value of el.href: "
puts el[:href]
end
doc.p {
doc.a el, :href => el
}
end
}
}
end
puts "*" * 50
puts "This is the HTML generated"
puts builder.to_html
This is how it looks:

回答1:
I think it can be a lot simpler. Nokogiri already parses the document and provides convenient ways to access the content. Rather than looping, storing Nokogiri objects, then trying to extract them, why not try a more direct approach?
Try this code:
content_page.search(//a[@href]).map{ |el| [el[:href], el.text] }
This creates the 2d array containing the text and href for each link in the document, which is what you said in a follow-up comment that you're actually working toward.
回答2:
You can use compact to remove nils:
nodes.compact.each do |node|
puts node[:href], node.text
end
回答3:
Maybe this, since you have a odd nil in your array.
contents.each do |i|
if !i.nil?
puts i.inspect
puts i[:href]
end
end
Edit1: Actually I think you just need to do contents = contents[1].
contents = contents[1]
contents.each do |i|
puts i.inspect
puts i[:href]
end
