extracting an img source link from a string in ruby - ruby

Question

I have this string
#<Fletcher::Model::Amazon alt="You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto (Vintage)" border="0" element="img" height="240" id="prodImage" onload="if (typeof uet == 'function') { if(typeof setCSMReq=='function'){setCSMReq('af');setCSMReq('cf');}else{uet('af');uet('cf');amznJQ.completedStage('amznJQ.AboveTheFold');} }" onmouseout="sitb_doHide('bookpopover'); return false;" onmouseover="sitb_showLayer('bookpopover'); return false;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51bpl1wA%2BaL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg" width="240">
I simply want the link in the src attribute:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51bpl1wA%2BaL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg"
How can I parse this string to get the link
Below is a listing of relevant functions
module Fletcher
module Model
class Amazon < Fletcher::Model::Base
# A regular expression for determining if a url comes from a specific service/website
def self.regexp
/amazon\.com/
end
# Parse data and look for object attributes to give to object
def parse(data)
super(data)
case doc
when Nokogiri::HTML::Document
# Get Name
self.name = doc.css("h1.parseasinTitle").first_string
# Get Description
self.description = doc.css("div#productDescriptionWrapper").first_string
# Get description from meta title if not found
self.description = doc.xpath("//meta[#name='description']/#content").first_string if description.nil?
# Get Price
parse_price(doc.css("b.priceLarge").first_string)
# Get Images
self.images = doc.xpath("//table[#class='productImageGrid']//img").attribute_array
self.image = images.first
end
end
end
end
end

Answer 1

In that case I believe it would be: fletchedProduct.image[:src]

Answer 2

require 'open-uri'
x = %Q{#<Fletcher::Model::Amazon alt="You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto (Vintage)" border="0" element="img" height="240" id="prodImage" onload="if (typeof uet == 'function') { if(typeof setCSMReq=='function'){setCSMReq('af');setCSMReq('cf');}else{uet('af');uet('cf');amznJQ.completedStage('amznJQ.AboveTheFold');} }" onmouseout="sitb_doHide('bookpopover'); return false;" onmouseover="sitb_showLayer('bookpopover'); return false;" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51bpl1wA%2BaL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg" width="240">}
url = URI.extract(x)
puts url[2]
output:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51bpl1wA%2BaL._BO2,204,203,200_PIsitb-sticker-arrow-click,TopRight,35,-76_AA240_SH20_OU01_.jpg
Hope this helps. I just happened to need to be able to do this last week and looked it up.
