          There are many different ways to locate the element you want.

          For example, if



          <icon src="pngpath"/>


          is relatively unique and we use it as an anchor.

          Then the code would be:



          #require 'nokogiri'
          doc = Nokogiri::XML File.read "file.xml" #Read xml file and parse into Nokogiri object
          ic = doc.css('icon[src="pngpath"]') #locate icon element
          theId = ic.first.parent.get_attribute :id #Find the id

          p theId
          #=> "firstchannel"


          Depends on different situation, you might need different approach to find the
          right thing you want.

          I think:



          doc = Nokogiri::HTML(info_html)
          channel = doc.css('channel')[0]['id']
