scRUBYt! is a simple to learn and use, yet powerful web scraping toolkit written in Ruby. The idea behind making scRUBYt! was to show a few simple concepts of Web extraction as a practical extension of this tutorial.
I have added two new tutorials which should eliminate a lot of confusion and make you an even better scRUBYt! hacker.
scRUBYt! development continues in full steam - thans for all the feedback, I really appreciate it! The next minor release, 0.2.1 is on it’s way, with nearly all the bug fix requests I have received up to date, and also some new and shiny features and enhancements (which will make scraping del.icio.us and reddit possible - with 0.2.0 they are very cumbersome to scrape, so I have added a new feature which should remedy this situation).
I am also continuing on with the tutorials. With 0.2.1, some new ones should arrive, and I am also finishing the original ones.
Thanks for all the feedback everyone! I am really impressed by all the communication, bug reports, enhancement request and questions which proved that you are really using scRUBYt!, and I am maximally happy about this.
Please check back often or subscribe to scRUBYt!’s feed in order to keep on with the development - I will always publish here any important info, news, development status etc.

Hey since1968,
Thanks for the bug report. Already fixed.
As for the tutorials - there is much more to come, and since I am already working on the new release and new features are coming with that, I must hurry to catch up with myself because new tutorials will be needed for the new feats…
