How to remove tags <! [CDATA []]> with all the text in XML using Hpricot?

Question

I just want the text to be from there with these tags. Does Hrpicot.XML have any methods for this?

Answer 1

use element.inner_text instead of #inner_html and delete them for you

Answer 2

doc.search("*") do |element| element.swap element.content if element.kind_of? Hpricot::CData end 

Answer 3

 doc = Hpricot::XML(open('http://www.cnn.com/.element/ssi/www/auto/2.0/video/xml/most_popular.xml')) (doc/:cnn_video/:video).each do |status| ['tease_txt'].each do |el| puts "#{status.at(el).inner_text}" end end
