How do I remove a node with Nokogiri?


have a try!

f = Nokogiri::XML.fragment(str)f.search('.//img').removeputs f


I prefer CSS over XPath, as it's usually much more readable. Switching to CSS:

require 'nokogiri'doc = Nokogiri::HTML('<html><body><img src="foo"><img src="bar"></body></html>')

After parsing the document looks like:

doc.to_html# => "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body>\n<img src=\"foo\"><img src=\"bar\">\n</body></html>\n"

Removing the <img> tags:

doc.search('img').each do |src|  src.removeend

Results in:

doc.to_html# => "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN\" \"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body></body></html>\n"
