more stripping carriage returns

Hi folks:

    provided that I have a document named "doc1" that looks just like:

<level1>
  <level2></level2>
</level1>

and I want to create a java string (via LRE) using just the name of those
elements.
in other words I want an LRE that will looks like

  var1 = "<level1>\n<level2></level2>\nlevel1"

I can read the file in via the "document" function but  been going around in
circles
creating the string, any ideas or suggestion?

Thanks,

Carmelo
