Feature Request: Iterate over selected nodes and print out some data #61

Open baszero opened 8 years ago

Example HTML:

<h1 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading" lang="en">
 <span dir="auto">
  Robots exclusion standard
 </span>
 <span dir="auto2">
  date: xyz
 </span>
</h1>

Now it would be great if pup could be used in a way:

iterate over all h1
for each h1, print out Robots exclusion standard, date: xyz, so the value of span with dir attribute auto, concatenated by a comma and the value of span with dir attribute auto2.

you can achieve this using other tools: 1) Remove all the lines inside <> 2) Change new lines for commas
