cssgrep

Usage

cssgrep.rb <selector> [FILE...]
xpathgrep.rb <selector> [FILE...]

They search the named input FILEs (or standard input if no files are named, or if a single hyphen-minus (-) is given as file name) for tags matching the CSS or XPath selector and prints them.

Use cssgrep.rb with a CSS selector, or xpathgrep.rb if you prefer XPath selectors.

Both are Ruby scripts using Nokogiri. See http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html to install it.
