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?)
