nokogiri: Parse as a specific type.
$ nokogiri ${select} --type ${select1}
try on your machine

The command nokogiri ${select} --type ${select1} is using the nokogiri gem in Ruby to perform operations on an HTML or XML document.

  • ${select} is a placeholder that represents the selector used to identify specific elements within the document. This can be a CSS selector, XPath expression, or a combination of both to query and select elements.
  • --type is an option flag used to specify the type of the document being processed. It can be either xml or html. This helps Nokogiri determine the appropriate parser to use.
  • ${select1} is another placeholder that represents the type of document. It can be either xml or html, depending on the format of the document being processed.

Overall, this command is used to execute the nokogiri gem with the specified selector and document type to perform operations on HTML or XML documents.
