Here it is, I call it with "ruby hubski.rb URL" where the URL is the Hubski list.

----

  require 'nokogiri'

require 'open-uri'

hubski = Nokogiri::HTML(open(ARGV[0]))

users = hubski.css("#username")

puts "

[View as a list](#{ARGV[0]})

Thanks @insomniasexx@!

Shout-outs:

"

users.map(&:text).uniq.each do |user|

print "@#{user}@ "

end

that's handy. I should learn Ruby.

It's a nice language, coming primarily from Java I really appreciate the brevity of it. Ruby (and Rails especially) has the tendency to do a lot of stuff auto-magically which is a blessing and a curse. I painstakingly typed that script up on my Raspberry Pi over SSH from my mobile :D

ouch!! sftp not an option for you? or were you just eager to do this while on the move somewhere?

I'm running my Pi headless, so all my interaction with it has been through SSH. Just my computer is out of action so only got my phone to play with!
