I think net http get only returns one object, I think that is why I am geting an error when I try to look at resp h=Net::HTTP.new('[URL="http://www.livejournal.com"]www.livejournal.com[/URL]', 80) resp, data = h.get("[URL]http://#[/URL]{person}.livejournal.com/profile",nil) 1. I do have the book and also sam's ruby, but I did not find this: ([^'&]*) in this expression: /userinfo.bml\?user=([^'&]*)\'/ the parenthesis means treat it as a group, ^ means from start ... but I can't decipher the rest. he also uses ([^<]*), ([^"]*), somehow the expression is linked to an argument $1 if token =~ /http:\/\/([^'&]*).livejournal.com\/profile/ friend_arr.push $1 in another example the expression is linked to two arguments $1 and $2 if line =~ /<ahref='(http"\/\/[URL="http://www.livejournal.com\/users\/[^\/]*\/[^']*thread[^']*"]www.livejournal.com\/users\/[^\/]*\/[^']*thread[^']*[/URL])'>.*<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>(.*)<\ p style='margin:/ and logging url = $1 comment = $2 3. Oups, just a typo, I guess spaces between arguments is ok then. [/QUOTE]
