===== Exercise 1 - MU News html scraping with regular expressions =====

(a reprise of [[cs498gpl/python_exercises#exercise_5_-_html_parsing_with_re | Python Exercise 5]])

In ''rubyex1.rb'', parse the article titles and links from the HTML source of http://www.monmouth.edu/news/archives. Store the titles and links in arrays.
Use regular expressions for this version. Later, we'll use [[http://ruby.bastardsbook.com/chapters/html-parsing/|a parser]].

**Note**: Also, dropbox ''rubyex1_map.rb'' and ''rubyex1_parser.rb''.

===== Exercise 2 - A Roster class =====

In ''rubyex2.rb'' create and use a Roster class. The Roster class consists of an array of Student class objects (Student class shown below):

<code>
class Student
   def initialize( first, last, email )
      @first = first
      @last  = last
      @email = email
   end

   def show
      puts "#{@first}  #{@last}  #{@email}"
   end
end
</code>

Create a new Roster called ''cs001'' that consists of the students in your [[https://piazza.com/class_profile/get_resource/m65min8nryeil/m6v65najj9234t|roster.txt]] file.  Write a ''Roster.list'' method to show the roster of students.

    * [[https://piazza.com/class_profile/get_resource/m65min8nryeil/m97ztlqww4f6cd|rbdb2.rb]]

Save it as rubyex3.rb. Add a list_all function and corresponding "4) List all records" menu item to list all existing records in the database.
