If you are talking about web-scraping try Nokogiri

Answer 2

I will assume that you you have HMTL like this:

<div id="tehcodez">teh codez</div>

This would save text teh codez to file tehcodez.txt (not tested):

text = browser.div(:id => "tehcodez").text
File.open("tehcodez.txt", "w") {|file| file.write(text) }
