irb output

[newyorkdolluk]

hi,

i have a ruby/watir script that i evoke from irb containing the
following lines:

ie_attach = Watir::IE.attachurl, /text/)
ie_attach.show_links

this will attach to an open browser containing a webpage with 'text' in
the url and then display all the html objects in that page.

can anyone advise on how i can redirect this output in the irb window
into a file

thanks.

require 'watir'
include Watir

ie = IE.attachurl, "http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/76597#new")
file = File.new("links.txt","w+")

ie.links.each {|link|
file.puts("#{link.innerText} - #{link.href}") unless
link.innerText.empty?
}

file.close()

Thats great thanks. Can this be modified so that we pull out only the
index names (first column of output - looks like an integer) for those
lines that have the text 'example' say in them?
