RE: How to extract data from an element and not from i

Would you be better off by re-designing your xml as:
<text>
<content>This text is some test </content>
<content><emph>text</emph></content>
<content>.</content>
</text>

Somehow that text within the xml doesn't seem correct - it looks
orphaned, but I guess the experts can answer that..

Subject:  How to extract data from an element and not from its
children

Hi,

I can't find a way to solve this problem:

How do I extract the value of an element, without text in its children.
E.g.
how do I extract from the next example the line 'This text is some test
.'.

<text>This text is some test <emph>text</emph>.</text>

I think I am overlooking a simple function, but can't seem to find it.
