I tried doing as you suggested. Here is what I have:
<ROOT>
<ROW number="1">
<FIRST_NAME>John</FIRST_NAME>
<LAST_NAME>Smith</LAST_NAME>
<CUSTOMER_NUMBER>27</CUSTOMER_NUMBER>
</ROW>
<ROW number="2">
<FIRST_NAME>Mary</FIRST_NAME>
<LAST_NAME>Jones</LAST_NAME>
<CUSTOMER_NUMBER>28</CUSTOMER_NUMBER>
</ROW>
</ROOT>
When I ask for /ROOT/ROW/FIRST_NAME I get a list of Elements (as expected).
Then I change this, as I think you are suggesting, to
/ROOT/ROW/FIRST_NAME/text() .... but nothing is selected. What am I missing
here?
Thanks.
Tom

Yes. The string-value of an element is recursive. If you don't want to be
recursive with text inside elements you can use the text() function instead.
e.g.
//foo/bar/text()
would return a list of text nodes which are immediate children of <bar>
elements but not any text inside child elements of <bar>s.
