Description

When I run the attached script (slurperFail.groovy) I get the following output:

class groovy.util.slurpersupport.NodeChildren
471 U.S. 462
http://laws.findlaw.com/us/471/462.html

However, I believe that the citation (471 U.S. 462) should appear on the 3rd line as well. I have tried many variations (e.g. with toString()) but could not get it to concatenate the 2nd element.

It's confusing also that "NodeChildren" is not available in the API docs, so I'm not sure what methods it has to offer, but if it would just concatenate the string I would be happy, i.e. if

println( it.website +' '+it.citation )

would work the way it looks like it should.

Thanks,
