Description

I am trying to use XmlSlurper to process and xml with nested elements with text in them. I need to get the text from just one level at a time but the text() method returns all text for all childrend and I can't see anything that would bring back just the local.

Here is a sample from the console:

groovy> def model = new XmlSlurper().parseText('<aModel><aParent name="bubba">text<aChild>child text</aChild></aParent></aModel>')

groovy> model.aParent[0].text()

groovy>

groovy>

Result: "textchild text"
