I can't typ much bcaus my kboard crappity smackd from t3a spill.

but WOULDN'T YOU US3:

getChild(0).getElement()

ON THAT NOD3?

That's where getChild(0) comes in.

That will only work where the text node is the only child of the node you're currently at (as was the case in your example).

The documentation says:

description
Use this method to get the name of a XMLElement. If the XMLElement is a PCDATA section getElement() gives you its text.

So, in the case of your example, to retrieve the text you'd do:

String text = yournodeobjectname.getChild(0).getElement();

If you have more than one children in the actual nodes you're working with then you need to loop through them. You can use:

isPCDATA();

To check for text before retrieving it (returns true if it finds PCDATA).

Many thanx for the explanation. it worked just fine
