I had a few moments today to get reacquainted with Ruby and Rails programming. It has been a while but I have found time to watch the occasional Railscast. I want to watch these videos while on the move but unfortunately the iTunes podcasts are not compatible with the iPad/iPhone. Downloading each one is tedious so I came up with the following:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | require 'open-uri' require 'hpricot' (1..6).each do |page| doc = Hpricot(open("http://railscasts.com/episodes?page=#{page}")) (doc/"a").each do |l| href = l[:href] if href =~ /.*ipod_videos.*/ then file_name = File.basename(href) unless File.exist?(file_name) then puts "Downloading #{file_name}" File.open(File.basename(href), "w") do |file| file.write(open(href).read) end end end end end |
