Watir too slow

[mirth]

hi guys,

I'm using watir to get the result from a html table into an array like

$reportResult=frame.tableid, "ReportTable").to_a.flatten

But it takes forever to run if that table's huge. For example, if that
table has 533,863 cells so it will be 533,863 objects in that
$reportResult array. It will take over 20 minutes to run that line of
code. Sometimes, it will just give up and give exception.

So my question is: Is there any better way to get result from the html
table that could run faster? Any suggestion is high appreciated!

Thanks,
YY

you could try hpricot - either by using net/http or by dumping the hml
from IE to it
