Using the Pyxie Python library the code would look like this:

for f in T.Elements("foo"):
         T.Seek(f)
         print "\nfoo = "
         for b in T.Children("bar"):
                 T.Seek("bar")
                 print T.JoinData()


What is difficult about that? (Or have I misunderstood you?)
