A particular file I was working on had many path elements, all with the same style attribute that I wanted to move into a parent tag (or external style or whatever). What better way to strip them out than Hpricot?</p><table class="CodeRay"><tr> <td class="line_numbers" title="click to toggle" onclick="with (this.firstChild.style) { display = (display == '') ? 'none' : '' }"><pre>1<tt> </tt>2<tt> </tt>3<tt> </tt>4<tt> </tt>5<tt> </tt>6<tt> </tt>7<tt> </tt>8<tt> </tt>9<tt> </tt><strong>10</strong><tt> </tt>11<tt> </tt></pre></td> <td class="code"><pre ondblclick="with (this.style) { overflow = (overflow == 'auto' || overflow == '') ? 'visible' : 'auto' }">require <span class="s"><span class="dl">'</span><span class="k">hpricot</span><span class="dl">'</span></span><tt> </tt><tt> </tt>doc = open(<span class="pc">ARGV</span>[<span class="i">0</span>]) { |f| <span class="co">Hpricot</span>.XML(f) }<tt> </tt><tt> </tt>(doc/<span class="sy">:path</span>).each <span class="r">do</span> |path|<tt> </tt> [<span class="sy">:id</span>, <span class="sy">:style</span>].each <span class="r">do</span> |attr| <tt> </tt> path.remove_attribute(attr)<tt> </tt> <span class="r">end</span><tt> </tt><span class="r">end</span><tt> </tt><tt> </tt>puts doc<tt> </tt></pre></td> </tr></table> <p>And you get the benefit of prettier formatting!</p>
